Mom tells horrifying story of losing son, 7, and parents in Hurricane Helene after taking heartbreaking final photo

The last thing Megan Drye heard from her 7-year-old son Micah was his screams for help after he was washed away in the flood waters of Hurricane Helene.

Megan and Micah were separated when they went into the water, and she could not get to him in the raging river. But, she heard his cries.

“Jesus, save me!” she recalled him pleading — until he went quiet.

Dyre lost her son and both her parents in Asheville, North Carolina, after they were caught up in the flash floods that came with Helene — which left at least 227 people dead — a large portion of them in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Dyre recounted her harrowing survival to The Post after her story went viral after her sister Jessica shared the family’s desperate final photos on Facebook.

Drye; her parents Michael and Nora, 73; Micah; and the family dog had huddled together on their roof as the nearby river rose and rose. They begged a 911 operator for help.
