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.
Martha Stewart’s perfect response for haters who say she should dress her age
The legendary businesswoman Martha Stewart, known for her exquisite home décor and culinary prowess, is making news once more.
But it’s not for her newest dish or do-it-yourself project this time.
Stewart, who is eighty-two, is embracing her individuality and rejecting ageist preconceptions, especially when it comes to her style choices.
Stewart was asked recently about how she approaches dressing for her age while she was in New York City for the Fashion Group International Night of Stars event. Stewart dismissively answered the question of “dressing for one’s age” when it was posed, asking, “Dressing for whose age?” as reported by the Huffington Post.
For all women, Stewart’s defiance of age-related fashion standards is an inspiration. She asserts loudly that she doesn’t take age into account when making dress decisions, saying, “I don’t think about age.” I believe that as people get older, they get more and more amazing, and I salute each and every one of them, according to Page 6.
She declares with pride, “I’ve dressed the same since I was 17,” demonstrating her confidence.
Stewart has been causing a stir on social media with her daring dress choices in addition to her red carpet appearances. From taking pictures by the pool to becoming the oldest model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in history, Stewart celebrates her sexuality and individuality with unwavering courage.
In an open interview, Stewart highlighted how happy she was to be acknowledged as a sex icon at her age and how it could serve as an inspiration to others. She said, “I’m a teacher,” according to the Huffington Post. “I want to show people that having a great appearance is possible.” There’s no justification for moping around.
Stewart kept her usual sense of humor and spontaneity when questioned about her future intentions to share “thirst traps” on social media. Stewart’s lighthearted approach to life is charming and inspirational, whether he’s laughing about taking a picture with a polar bear in Greenland or just letting things happen.
