Sheriff’s office just finished briefing on dive operations — additional cars found but no victims. Don’t know yet whether they got out and are o.k. or if swept out and missing. Two cars can’t get to. One on top of another and second wedged in superstructure. Will try to pull the second out tomorrow, weather permitting (storms expected).
ME spokesman gave update — five persons dead, all identified. He came from the Holiday Inn where the families are waiting. He choked up when he told how the families wanted to come over to the dive command post and cook meals for the divers for what they are doing. He said we have families to go home to, they don’t know whether they still have a family, was surprised at their generosity during this time.
No a.m. briefing. Next SO briefing at 1 p.m. CDT Saturday.
that the Minnesota NICE!!!
