I imagine we all know about it by now. I for one am going to sit quietly in my recliner and be very, very grateful that, with all the horrors in the world today, me and mine are (at present) safe and sound.

At least 16 people [it's 17 as of this morning], including some children, were killed Friday after flash floods swept through their remote Arkansas campsites following a heavy rain, according to Gov. Mike Beebe.

About 60 campers were rescued by emergency workers, another two dozen hospitalized, the Associated Press reported, citing authorities. Dozens more are still missing and feared dead.

"About one-thirty, two in the morning, we started hearing children and women screaming and crying," said Crystel Hofer, who was asleep in her cabin when the water came raging through. "So we went to the door and opened the door and they were trying to come up the hill to where our cabin was to escape the rising water."

"It's a terrible tragedy and we're doing all we can to hopefully find some folks and bring some people back who are stranded out there," said Matt DeCample, spokesman for Gov. Beebe. "We've got a lot of state and local folks pulling together. This is an unprecedented tragedy out in this part of the state. It's a very rural but close-knit portion of Arkansas."

They say up to 300 people may have been in the campground at the time...the list of campers was washed away along with everything else. I sincerely hope their count is wrong.

Not unless he has search and rescue training.

Why not pull the military from Iraq and Afghanistan to help the search and rescue effort (and the oil spill clean up), instead of expecting the President to be able to do EVERYTHING?

Wait are we still there? I thought Barry would have us out of there by now? Wouldn't Barry and his Hollywood buds come to the rescue? Sean Penn is there right?
