Given the remote area yes...need something in case of emergency...the lawsuit will begin to fly, despite the act of god nature of the disaster, a lawyer will be able to find some negligence on the part of the camp....

But at the very least someone or people responsible should’ve had a weather radio if they were out of cell phone service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing was pure bad luck-if the river rose like that during the day most would be up and about and would have time to move to higher ground...

Sadly the speed with which this happened and the timing created a perfect storm for losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death toll up to 119, many of whom are children and well over 100 still missing (hopefully these are mostly double counted or not reported found yet). Heartbreaking and devastating. Seems like the campgrounds were out of cell phone coverage so they didn’t get the automated warning from the NWS and didn’t have a weather radio. they need sirens, like tornado sirens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
