The massive storms which swept across the Eastern U.S caused the deaths of two young cousins camping with their families in New Jersey after a tree fell on their tent.
The state Department of Environmental Protection said the two boys, ages two and seven, were killed early Saturday at Parvin State Park in southwestern New Jersey’s Salem County.
Authorities said the boys’ families had been camping at adjacent sites when the storm hit and to be safer the families decided to huddle together in one tent.
The heavy winds and rains from the storm snapped a pine tree, which then fell on the families’ tent, killing the two young boys.
This accident came as millions across the mid-Atlantic region sweltered Saturday in the aftermath of violent storms that pummeled the eastern U.S. with high winds and downed trees, killing at least 13 people and leaving 3 million without power during a triple-digit heat wave.
