A Hixson woman’s daughter has survived both earthquakes to hit Nepal and is now working on relief efforts.
“We got lucky again,” said Hedi Lee-Hesse after talking to her daughter Brenna K. Murphy on Wednesday morning and learning she and her boyfriend were safe following the 7.3 earthquake that struck the country this week.
The second earthquake hit Tuesday, killing several dozen people and injuring more than 1,000, just weeks after the mammoth 7.8 earthquake on April 25 killed more than 8,000 people.
Murphy has been in the country since January with her boyfriend, Drew Haxby, of Michigan.
