CNN is reporting that the Little Missouri River has flash flooded a campground, rising from 3 ft. to over 20 ft. in 12 hours in western Arkansas. The campground is a Forest Service area called the Albert Pike Campground in Montgomery County. Early reports are that 12 are dead but some estimates were that over 300 people were camping in the area.

I know nothing about that area, but apparently it is remote and rescue crews are still enroute to help victims.

If you know people camping in that area you may wish to contact them, if mobile phones work out there.
