Arkansas Flooding - 14 Dead, Unknown Number Missing
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...Oy0VgD9G958MO2
A tragedy is unfolding in Arkansas, due to sudden flooding at a rural Camp-Site which is un-manned.
The Govenor has said that as many as 300 people could have been at the Site and many are thought to be missing.
The river, which runs through the site, is reported to have risen by 17 feet, during the night.
State Police have now confirmed 14 deaths, and at least 10 taken to local hospitals with various injuries.

Very sad indeed. Hopefully they will rescue everyone, and no one else has died.
