A final photo has emerged of North Carolina grandparents on the roof of their home, surrounded by floodwaters, minutes before they drowned due to Hurricane Helene.
Jessica Drye Turner’s family members were waiting to be rescued from the roof of their Asheville home as they watched “18-wheelers and cars floating by,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Friday (September 27).
The house ultimately collapsed before they could be rescued, and Jessica’s parents, who were in their seventies, along with her 7-year-old nephew Micah, drowned in the floodwaters.
