North Carolina woman killed when boat overturns in storm

<p>Divers have recovered the body of a North Carolina woman who died after the shrimp boat she was in capsized during a storm in Sapelo Sound north of Brunswick.</p><p>The body of Sharon Hill, 49, of Sneads Ferry, N.C., was found early Monday morning, nearly eight hours after a Sunday afternoon storm overturned the 68-foot trawler.</p><p>The boat's captain, Harry Ray Liverman of Sneads Ferry, N.C., was rescued.</p><p>Liverman was washed overboard during the storm. But the occupants of a passing motor yacht pulled him from the water, said Jonathan Henson, a senior investigating officer for the U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office.</p><p>While the boat's sinking is still being investigated, early indications are that it was caused by the weather, Henson said.</p><p>"The best guess we can make is a microburst. Winds can be at 100 miles an hour," Henson said. "... It's just one of those freaks of nature."</p><p>___</p><p>HASH(0x28665d0)</p>
