A 27-year-old woman had made a final promise to her father to protect her newborn twins from Hurricane Helene’s devastation. She sought refuge in her house with her sons, hoping they’d stay safe, but fate had other plans.

As Hurricane Helene swept through Georgia, it left a trail of destruction and claimed the lives of 33 people. Among them were one-month-old twin boys and their mother, Kobe Williams.

The twins, Khyzier and Khazmir, are the youngest known victims of Hurricane Helene, which had already caused significant devastation across the southeastern United States. Their deaths have become a heartbreaking reminder of the storm’s catastrophic force.

Obie Williams, Kobe’s father, had spoken with his daughter just moments before tragedy struck. As the storm bore down on her home in Thomson, Georgia, Kobe reassured her father that she would follow his advice and take shelter in the bathroom with her infants.

She hoped it would be enough to protect them from the worst of the storm’s wrath. What followed would change the family’s life forever.
