Fundraising starts for Duette tornado victims

Two of four children and one adult are in stable condition after a tornado destroyed the mobile home in which they were staying early Sunday morning. Two other children are in serious condition, but authorities say their injuries are non-life threatening.

Two adults — Stephen and Kelli Wilson — died, and a gofundme page has been set up so individuals can contribute toward the family’s expenses: gofundme.com/tdjpcxek.

A Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report states deputies responded to a report at a mobile home in Duette around 4 a.m. Jan. 17. Deputies discovered there were three adults and four children in the residence when the storm hit. Stephen M. Wilson and four children were hospitalized.

Stephen Wilson was pronounced dead on scene and Kelli Wilson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
