Marsye, thank you for being our personal reporter on this tragedy. We'll probably never know the real extent of it - but your account makes it much more real than what I've seen and hear on tv. Just the thought of those poor people in tents makes me realize how vulnerable we can be.
One of the pictures on the news last night showed an RV that was thrust vertically against a house. The people in in the RV managed to get the rear door open and the people in the house helped them get out into the SECOND floor of the house. Imagining the force of that flash flood is almost impossible.
My stomach clenched when you told us about the busload of Boy Scouts. Thank goodness they're ok and helping others. I used to be a Girl Scout leader, and every time we went on a weekend camping trip, my inner anxieties wouldn't let me rest until we got those young ladies safely home.
