Just read the story on Foxnews.com. Little information so far. Hope everyone is ok.

I have a co-worker who has family along the river. They said that Johnson Shut-Ins was totally inundated and no one could get there because Highway N was gone. A 20' wall of water was supposed to hit K Bridge at 9 am. There also a couple of other bridges between there including Highway 21.

So far they have said everyone is OK but I will be amazed if there is no loss of life on this one. Hope and pray everyone along there comes out alright.

Was that on the Black river? I have a buddy that lives just above Clearwater Res on the river.

[Tigerhaze]

Yes, on the Black River. Highway K is the last bridge before the lake. Hopefully he's OK.

[Warmouth]

He lives on the high ground, but we have camped and floated at his place for years. He'll be alright, just may have a lot of property damage.

This could have been a real disaster if it would have happpened on a summer holiday weekend. The Shut-ins campground lies right along the river bottom and is always packed.
