whoa!this story is still breaking and it just gets worse with every update.A flash flood broke out in a rural region of southwestern Arkansas today,sweeping suddenly through a camp ground and killing atleast as many as 20 people.State Officials,FEMA and the Red Cross are working now with all of their resources to locate and help rescue as many as 300 people who may still be trapped in the camp ground.36 more are known to be missing.This could be the worst flash flood disaster of its kind in the USA.RIP to the victims and god's speed to the rescue workers efforting to prevent further tragedy.

With all of the attention being put on the Gulf oil disaster,this natural diaster seemed to strike unexpectedly and without warning earlier this morning.

So sorry to here of this.Terrible news.

So much bad news going around,I try to pay less and less attention to it,bu things like this cant help but catch your eye and break your heart.I hope there were no kids involved.

UPDATE:

It appears that the deathtoll from yesterday's surprise flash flood has been revised downward to 18,however officials continue to search and canvass the area for a untotaled amount of missing persons who are suspected of being in the area at the time of diaster.

The US Agriculture secretary also said that the warning systems put in place that are supposed to alert tourists and staff inside of National Parks across the country are now being reviewed as it appears that the system in this particular preserve did not operate properly before,during or after the fact.
