Oh my gosh. Just heard the news. I have a friend who lives in AR and was planning to go RVing for a few days--she did not say where to. I think I met her through this forum. Now I am so worried. I put out a post to her privately=--hope to hear back. Chewing fingernails here.

Very scary stuff indeed. I am sure there was no warning, how would they know it was coming? This is a tragedy, so sad.

My DH has been keeping me up on it all day. Marsye, I'll tell him about your last post. 16 now and according to CNN a lot of the dead and missing are children. CNN said that the river went from 3' deep to 21' deep in a matter of minutes.

This is so sad. Families out enjoying a nice time together and this happens. It's so unfair! I don't know of anyone in that area that would have ever imagine a flood like this could happen.
