Another sad story. The pilot and his wife had posted pictures on here.
The most severe weather was not in that part of the state, but it was plenty severe enough.

Wow, that looked like a real nasty squall, dangerous to try and go through it. Looked like there were minor deviations, but did not go around the storm. My guess is that he was low on fuel, no choice of alternates.
Oh, it was a PA32, that would explain it.
