A mother, father and son died by drowning when the remnants of Hurricane Ida poured catastrophic amounts of rain across the East Coast on Wednesday, leaving at least 50 people dead.
Rosa Espinal, 72, and her husband Jose Torres, 71, along with their 38-year-old son Jose Torres died when more than a dozen feet of rain drenched their apartment in a residential complex in Elizabeth, New Jersey, city spokesperson Kelly Martins told CNN Friday. Their neighbor, 33-year-old Shakia Garrett, also drowned, Martins said. About 20 miles north, rescue workers are searching for two childhood friends whom witnesses say were swept into a storm drain in Passaic Wednesday evening.More Related News
