North Carolina Mother, Fiancé, and Her Two Young Sons Die While Fleeing Hurricane

**Tragic Loss During Hurricane Helene**

Hurricane Helene claimed the lives of Alison Wisely, her fiancé Knox Petrucci, and their young sons, Felix and Lucas, in North Carolina. Their car was swept into the Toe River while escaping floodwaters. Emergency responders found the vehicle, but the family could not be saved.

**Remembering the Wisely-Petrucci Family**

Alison was a loving mother and a guide at Carolina Memorial Sanctuary. Knox, a beekeeper and musician, had deep environmental passions. Their sons were vibrant—Felix loved folklore, and Lucas was known for his humor.

**Community Support in Mourning**

A GoFundMe campaign was set up for memorial services, with Knox’s sister expressing gratitude, saying he “taught me how to love fiercely.”

**The Taylor Family’s Tragedy**

The Taylor family also suffered when Derrick and Harmony, their two youngest children, died after a tree fell on their home during the storm. Over $80,000 has been raised to support them in this devastating time.
