Grandparents Found Hugging After Being Killed in Hurricane Helene Disaster
A couple in South Carolina killed by a tree falling on their bedroom during Hurricane Helene was found hugging each other, according to their grandson.
Marcia, 74, and Jerry Savage, 78, were lying in bed at their house in Beech Island when the tree crashed down on their bedroom, their grandson John Savage told the Associated Press. “All you could see was ceiling and tree,” the 22-year-old, who was in the property at the time, said. “I was just going through sheer panic at that point.”
Savage told the news agency that his grandparents were found hugging each other in the bed. He said his family believe God intended for them to be taken together rather than allowing one of them to live without the other.
