There are at least 3 dozen STILL missing. Poor people didn't have any warning because it caught them unaware at 3am this morning. We had terrible storms here in Arkansas thru out the night.

They're still searching.

“...the water kept rising throughout the night, at one point topping the tool box in the back of the truck.”

"A flash flood warning was posted for the area at 1:57 a.m. after a slow-moving storm dumped heavy rain. At that point, the Langley river gauge showed the Little Missouri was still below 4 feet."

This is a horrible situation. A NOAA weather radio is essential at home, camping, etc and people should heed the flash flood warnings, seek higher ground.

Flood stage is hardly ever reached immediately with the rainfall.

It may come hour(s) later. Know when you may be in a Flood Hazard area and move to higher ground. It can save your life.

Prayers for the families and those who are working the rescue efforts.

That is horrible! My prayers for the victims and their families. I grew up very close to that area, it is very beautiful and remote, Cell phone coverage is pretty much nonexistent. (Jim's w)

Some of the most beautiful places in America. And if you decide to canoe the Caddo you’d better be skilled. And that doesn’t include a flood. My skill level was the Buffalo River.

So sad for all these people.

“Police say 16 dead, dozens missing in Ark. floods”

generally, an ark is very good in floods

I can remember years ago when this happened on the Big Thompson in Colorado.

It’s a terrible thing that happened. I have to wonder who the hell puts a campground on a flood plane though. Hell I learned back in my early 20s that you don’t camp in a flood plane. The problem here wasn’t the river. It was the location of the campground.
