seems like the flash floods took some lives down there, hopefully everyone will be found and we all pray for the ones that didn't make it! hate to hear about things like that. having a good time then suddenly somethin tragic happens. prayers to all who lost family, friends, and to the families still searching, GOD BLESS YOU!!
Yea I seen that on the msn.com news while ago. Bad deal, and so so sad...........Prayers go out for all those who may be trapped out and the families of all the missing folks as well......
Yea, it's a real tragedy and big mess. Albert Pike Campground is about 18-miles up the river from Lake Greeson and quite a few tents, ice chests and the like came all the way down into the lake so the search and rescue/recovery task is enormous considering the rough terrain and limited access to the area.
I knew we got a lot of rain overnight but didn't realize how much until I got to the lake and there was a swift current running through the marina, which is on a creek arm and not the main river. The lake was up several feet and rising fast. It's now over 5-feet higher than it was yesterday.
I started hearing sketchy reports about the death and distruction that occureed at Albert Pike and Caddo Gap early this morning when family and friends started calling to see if we were OK after seeing it on the news. It was hard to concenrate on finding some crappie that weren't too shell-shocked to eat after hearing the news but they had all the volunteers they could use in the area.
Our place is about half-way between the Caddo and Little Missouri rivers but the house and shop are on high ground.
It's been a sad day for sure.
I can't remember how many times we've camped that area. One of the most beautiful spots in Arkansas in many ways. I was so saddened to hear about it. Our prayers are with the families of the missing and dead.
Jerry, please disregard my question on the main board, thanks.Quote:
