How terrible! I hope the rescue teams can find and help the rest of the affected people.

[Sad]

It looks like it is up to 16 dead now.

Actually it's 20 now, and possibly 40 missing.

How sad. :(

[Prayers for the families]

Please pray for the families, I am sure some young children are amongst the dead, it is hard to lose one of your children.
IT will take days to search through the debris and drag the streams to try to find all the missing, It will be a trying time for the families with people still not found and not knowing whether they are dead or alive.
My heart goes out to all of them, I am sure this is not what they had in mind when they set up camp or arrived at their cabins etc.

It is on the upper end of Lake Greeson, above Daisy and Kirby. It is the Little Missouri River, south of Langley. Caddo Valley is at the lower end of Lake DeGray on the Caddo River.

I have sent the request to over 5 Million prayer folks.

Did they raise it to 20 again? It was 20 earlier and then they said that figure was wrong and the correct number was 16.

I have been in a flash flood at Albert Pike, it can be very dangerous. I always locate higher ground before dark now.

Yep, according to the radio, it's up to 20 with 40 missing now. Very sad. They said there are 54 camping sites (I think) and they were all full.

Very tragic I'm praying for the families of those lost and missing!

[Its all you]

So very sad. Thank you to the Boy Scouts from LA who saved lives there today.

Praying all that are still missing to be found safe.

Has anyone explored the correlation between this
"flash flood" the one in Tennessee, and the massive
hydrocarbon release in the gulf?
