Two twin girls were killed after a tree crushed their house during a horrific storm while they slept.
An EF-1 tornado with wind speeds up to 95mph ripped through the hamlet of Clark Mills early Sunday morning, reported WSYR.
Six-year-old twin girls, Emily and Kenni Bisson, were killed when the ferocious winds knocked a tree down onto their home on Hoyland Avenue, according to the Oneida County Sheriffâs Office.
Their mother, Kayleigh Bisson, 37, called 911 to report that the roof collapsed onto her, and she could not locate her daughters.
Investigators were able to locate both of the girls, and they were pronounced dead at the scene.
Neighbor Jared Bowman told Syracuse.com that the family had recently moved into the home, and he rushed over to help after a massive maple tree with twin trunks, nearly three feet in diameter, smashed through the house.
âShe was yelling, âGet my kids out!â Bowman said. âBut there was no noise. It felt very eerie and bad.â
Another neighbor and a member of the Clark Mills Fire Department, Rick Carollo, said he was able to locate one of the girls but could not find a pulse on her.
