Albert Pike Flash Flood Disaster

This morning, at about 5:00 a.mm., a flash flood devastated a campground at Albert Pike, Arkansas, and has killed at least 20 people.  The following video is a family vacation flick taken in 2009...hopefully these girls weren't camping by the stream this morning. What a beautiful, picturesque place, and what a fateful end to a beautiful day.  There could have been as many as 300 people camping there, and there is no record to ascertain who they could or should be looking for.  Trees were uprooted, trailers swept down stream, cabins destroyed....and children....many children, enjoying "family" time. My heart is so sad for all who have been, and will be, affected.  You just never know what the day ...or night...will bring.
