Although Turner first said the roof her family was sitting on collapsed, that was not the case. The house did, dropping her sister, seven-year-old nephew and parents who were in their 70s into the floodwaters.
“Mama was clinging onto micah and daddy was struggling to hold onto Megan. He kept panicking and pushing her under.”
Megan tried to hold onto a tree and her father, but the current was too strong and swept Michael Drye away. Moments later Megan watched her mother Nora float by.

Jessica wrote that it was in that moment her sister believes their mother “gave up” because she lost Micah to the current.
“The look on my mother’s face was absolute horror and defeat.”
Megan looked up just in time to see the floodwaters sweep her son away.
