[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect they were thinking that it doesn't matter if a camp cabin gets flooded -- they could just dry it out or build a new one. They did not imagine the river level rising [b]26 feet in 45 minutes[/b], what was a more of a tsunami than the typical flash flood. That's not an excuse. We all need to adjust our expectations dramatically for the world under climate change. But they could have responded to a 'normal' hundred year flood. This new mega-flash version gave them no chance to respond.[/quote] They knew those cabins were too close to the river. The owner had to get wife airlifted out of there years ago when she was pregnant. Then there was the earlier flood that killed camp kids down the river. There were so many failures, but many of them rest on the owner. This was an expensive camp filled with wealthy kids that expanded on higher ground. It was greed and incompetence. [/quote]
