A Georgia woman died alongside her twin newborn boys while hunkering down for their safety as Hurricane Helene ripped through their rural town. 

Obie WIlliams discovered his daughter, Kobe Williams, 27, and her sons, Khyzier and Khazmir, after a tree fell on top of their trailer in Thomson, 120 miles east of Atlanta, causing her to fall on top of the children. 

Williams said he received a call from his daughter last week as Helene battered the area. She heeded his advice and sheltered in the bathroom with her month-old babies until the storm passed. When she stopped answering her family’s phone calls, Williams dodged power lines and downed trees to check on her and the boys.

“I’d seen pictures when they were born and pictures every day since, but I hadn’t made it out there yet to meet them,” Williams told The Associated Press, days after the storm ravaged eastern Georgia. “Now I’ll never get to meet my grandsons. It’s devastating.”

Williams’ grandsons were born Aug. 20 and are the youngest known victims of Helene, which has claimed the lives of at least 230 people throughout the Southeast.

The death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue continues to comb through new areas.

Williams described his daughter as a lovable, outgoing and strong young woman who always had a smile on her face and loved to make people laugh. She was studying to be a nursing assistant but had taken time off from school to give birth to her sons.

“That was my baby,” he said. “And everybody loved her.”

Williams, who lives in Augusta, said many of his 14 other children are still without power in their homes across Georgia. Some have sought refuge in Atlanta, and others have traveled to Augusta to see their father and mourn together.

Williams said they are waiting for the bodies to be released by the county coroner and for roads to be cleared before arranging a funeral.

Several passengers intervened on an American Airlines flight this week when a man allegedly attacked a woman sitting next to him, video taken by another passenger appeared to show. 

The incident happened Wednesday on a flight from Miami to Charlotte, North Carolina.

“This evening, there was a violent incident on my @AmericanAir Flight AA 310 from Miami to Charlotte,” another passenger, journalist Arjun Singh, who took the video posted on social media, said. “Several men jumped to subdue another man in first class, who entered an altercation with the lady next to him. The flight landed 26 minutes early, but we aren’t getting off soon.”

“Don’t f—— touch her! Get your f—— hands off of her right now!” one of the passengers could be heard saying to the man in the video.

“You touch her again, you’re gonna get f—— arrested,” he added. 

Flight attendants soon arrived, and the woman said she was OK, but agreed to move to a seat across the aisle from her alleged attacker.

After the woman moved, she told the man who accused her of assaulting him: “You weren’t assaulted. I put my hand over your mouth to shut you up. I didn’t slap you. I put my hand over your mouth.” 

Minutes later, after the flight landed, an officer arrived and passengers were asked if any of them had seen him assault her. He began taking statements from those who said they’d seen the attack. 

The alleged aggressor and the woman were escorted off the plane, according to the New York Post. 

It wasn’t clear what the man and woman’s relationship was or if the man was arrested.

Fox News Digital has reached out to American Airlines and the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department for comment. 

“Two customers traveling together were engaged in an altercation aboard American Airlines flight 310, with service from Miami (MIA) to Charlotte (CLT) on Oct. 2.” American Airlines told the Post.

“Local law enforcement responded and escorted the customers from the CLT airport. We do not tolerate violence, and we thank our team members for their professionalism in managing a difficult situation.”

The airline wrote in the comments of Singh’s post: “Our first priority is the safety of the crew and our customers, and we take these matters very seriously.”

Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian humanitarian aid organization, has expanded its relief efforts to hard-hit areas in western North Carolina with three water filtration systems.

The water filters can provide clean water for 10,000 people daily, or up to 50,000 liters. Samaritan’s Purse designed the filtration systems with an in-house team of engineers.

One of the locations where the water filters have been deployed, Swannanoa, had its water pipeline network completely destroyed during Hurricane Helene. 

“We designed these systems to use overseas—and they work so well—but now the need is in our own backyard,” said Rev. Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse in a release.

“We are airlifting supplies, mudding out homes, removing trees, and doing so much more—all in Jesus’ Name—and we’re thankful for everyone who is helping make it possible. We want to remind each person that we help that God loves and cares for them and hasn’t forgotten them,” the Rev. added.

Food, water, infant hygiene kits, and medical supplies have also been airlifted by Samaritan’s Purse to some of the most isolated and affected areas. The organization is operating a 20-bed emergency field hospital in Avery County for those hardest hit by Hurricane Helene and to continue oxygen care for those without electricity.

In addition to basic supplies, nearly 3,000 volunteers have answered the call with Samaritan’s Purse to assist over 140 North Carolina families. Volunteers have cleared and cut downed trees, clearing storm debris, and mudding out flooded homes.

Samaritan’s Purse has also deployed Disaster Relief Units to communities in Georgia and Florida which have been affected by Hurricane Helene.
