12 DIE IN FLASHFLOODING IN W. ARKANSAS

One more reason to remember to pack that weather radio. I just bought a Midland hand held for about $40 at Best Buy. In an RV it’s so easy and there are some FRS radios that have weather alert on them if you are in a tent or hiking. In the parks while we camp and hike we take on a larger responsibility for our own personal safety and it’s not feasible for the federal government to warn us.
 
NWR coverage is nearly useless in that campground. I'll get in touch with the owners after things settle and donate a First2Warn for their use, it's being received quite well by Boy Scout campground operators across the midwest.
