Unhappy USA: flash-flood hits Natl-Park campsites; many missing, presumed dead

BBC News - Rescuers hunt for dozens missing in Arkansas floods

the logs recording who was camping at several sites were swept away with the water, which rose 8-ft an hour, carrying away
cabins, tents, RVs and many autos.

ONE campsite alone has received phone-calls from relatives totaling 73 possibly missing persons -
from the entire area, 17 have been confirmed dead, and 20 have gone to hospitals for treatment.
it may take weeks to locate all the dead, and some may never be accounted for.
entire families are missing - this is heartbreaking.

please, If U go camping -
choose high ground, AWAY from streams
do not camp in ravines or canyons
avoid tall trees and other wind + lightning hazards
leave a LOCATION with family or friends outside of the area!, with an arrival + approx departure plan
