Kobe Williams, 27, tragically lost her father after making a serious vow to shield her newborn twins, Khyzier and Khazmir, from Hurricane Helene’s fury. Kobe, who was hoping to protect her one-month-old sons from the storm’s destructive force, sought shelter in her home in Thomson, Georgia, but fate had other ideas.
Kobe and her twins were the youngest known victims of Hurricane Helene, which ripped through Georgia, killing 33 people and leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Their family was devastated by the storm, which had already wreaked havoc over the Southeast of the United States.
She had a conversation with Obie Williams, Kobe’s father, mere moments prior to the unfortunate event. Kobe told him that she would heed his instructions and take cover in the toilet with her babies when the storm grew stronger. However, Obie received no response when he attempted to reach her again after a short while.
Later, after navigating over broken power lines and fallen trees, Kobe’s brother arrived at her house. When he got there, he discovered an unbelievable sight of destruction—a big tree had fallen through the roof, right where Kobe and her pups had taken refuge. Not one of them made it.
Kobe, a devoted and resilient mother, had postponed her aspirations to become a nurse assistant in order to focus on raising her sons. Her family is now forced to mourn the premature deaths of a mother and two innocent people due to one of the deadliest storms in American history.
Driver dodges trash bag on the road, then realizes the chilling truth
You’ve probably experienced moments where a last-minute change in your routine leads to unexpected outcomes. Perhaps you altered your coffee order or left the office early, only to cross paths with an old friend or uncover an unpleasant surprise at home. These small decisions can lead to significant consequences, some good and some alarming.
Malissa Sergent Lewis had one such moment during the summer of 2016 when she decided to take a different route to work at her elementary school in Kentucky. Running late, she opted for a back road instead of the usual highway, a choice that she would come to appreciate greatly.
As she drove along that quieter road, she noticed something odd: a trash bag seemingly moving in the middle of the lane. “I thought I saw it twitch”, Malissa recalled. Intrigued and concerned, she felt compelled to investigate further.
Cautiously, she approached the bag, realizing it was tightly tied and that whatever was inside couldn’t have gotten there by itself. With a mix of apprehension and determination, she tore open a corner of the bag, revealing a heartwarming surprise.
Inside was a small puppy, wagging his tail with joy as soon as he was exposed to the light. “I couldn’t believe it”, Malissa said. The little dog, though shaken, was eager for companionship.
He was found with a collar but without any identification tags, raising questions about how he ended up abandoned in the first place. Unable to leave him behind, Malissa brought the puppy along to school. Later, her son took the puppy home, and they arranged for a vet visit to ensure he was healthy and vaccinated.
Concerned for the puppy’s safety, Malissa contacted animal control, but the dog had not been reported missing, and no one came forward to claim him.
In a fortunate turn of events, Malissa and her family decided to adopt the puppy, providing him with the love and care he deserves. Yet, she struggles to comprehend the cruelty that led to his abandonment. “Who could do something so heartless?” she wondered. “Everyone loves puppies; it takes a cold-hearted person to put any animal in a trash bag and discard it like that.”
