As of Tuesday, more than 230 individuals across six different states have tragically lost their lives due to Hurricane Helene, with hundreds still unaccounted for.
Among those who perished are twin brothers Khyzier and Khazmir Williams, who are thought to be the youngest victims of the hurricane. The five-week-old twins, along with their mother Kobe Williams, died when a tree fell onto their mobile home in Thomson, Georgia.
Nobody was really taking the storm seriously,” said Mary Jones, the boys’ grandmother and Kobe Williams’ mother, during an interview with Today.com. “But then it hit, and the wind was so loud. When the power went out, Kobe got really frightened. She was so worried about the babies.”
Jones and her daughter spent the entire night listening to the storm as it tore through the outside of their home. Around 5:15 a.m., Jones fed Khyzier to let her daughter get some rest, though Kobe couldn’t sleep because of how terrified she was.
Jones eventually dozed off, while her daughter stayed awake. Less than an hour later, Jones was startled awake by a “strange shushing” sound, quickly followed by an eerie stillness.
When she went to investigate, she discovered that a tree had come crashing through her daughter’s room.
“I started shouting, ‘Kobe! Please answer me! Say something!’ It was so dark, and all I could see were the tree branches.”

She was cradling the babies in her arms when the tree struck her head. She was trying to shield them,” recalled Markeya Jones, her granddaughter.
Hurricane Helene has become the deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
As the cleanup efforts continue, many in the southeastern region are preparing for what could be another record-setting storm, as Hurricane Milton heads toward the Tampa Bay area.
I am at a loss for words regarding the sheer level of destruction that Hurricane Helene has left behind. It breaks my heart to see how many families and livelihoods were shattered in a matter of moments.
76-year-old Susan Sarandon criticized for her clothing – has the perfect response for haters
Susan Sarandon, a titan of the silver screen and a beacon of individuality, has never shied away from speaking her truth—both on and off the camera. With a career spanning decades, she has captivated audiences with her talent and captivated hearts with her unwavering authenticity.
From her iconic role in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” to her Oscar-winning performance in “Dead Man Walking,” Sarandon has left an indelible mark on the film industry. Yet, it’s not just her acting prowess that sets her apart; it’s her unapologetic embrace of self-expression.
In an industry often dictated by narrow standards of beauty and conformity, Sarandon refuses to be confined by expectations. Recently, when critics took aim at her fashion choices, labeling them “inappropriate,” Sarandon responded in her trademark fashion—without words.
Instead of engaging in verbal sparring, Sarandon let an image speak volumes. Sharing a photo of herself proudly flaunting her physique in nothing but panties, she effectively silenced her detractors, asserting her right to define her own standards of appropriateness.
But Sarandon’s defiance extends beyond the realm of fashion. At 76, she embraces aging with grace and wisdom, recognizing the preciousness of time and the insignificance of societal norms. Her secret to maintaining youthfulness? A hearty dose of laughter, regular exercise, wholesome nutrition, and, of course, a stellar makeup and hair crew.
Yet, beneath the glamour and accolades lies a woman unafraid to chart her own course. Sarandon surrounds herself with individuals who share her vitality, curiosity, and courage, refusing to waste energy on the trivialities of life.
In a world that often seeks to diminish and confine, Susan Sarandon stands as a testament to the power of self-assurance and resilience. She embodies the spirit of defiance, urging us all to embrace our true selves and carve our own paths, regardless of the naysayers.
As we applaud Sarandon’s unwavering spirit, let us also heed her example—choosing authenticity over conformity, and daring to be unapologetically ourselves. In a society that often seeks to silence individuality, Susan Sarandon’s voice rings loud and clear: be bold, be fearless, and above all, be true to yourself.
