An elderly South Carolina couple died hugging each other after Hurricane Helene sent a giant tree crashing through their bedroom, according to a report.

John Savage was home with his grandparents Marcia, 74, and Jerry, 78, during Hurricane Helene. As the winds sent branches snapping outside the house, Savage said he went up to his grandparents' bedroom to check on them, according to The Associated Press.
