Tornado Strikes Scout Camp - Large Emergency Response

NWS ^ | June 11, 2008

A possible tornado has struck the Litle (spelling from site?) Sioux Scout Camp in Iowa. Very large response is being reported by media. Large number of injuries.

As of 2:00AM one of our boys was still unaccounted for. We just received word that he didn’t make it. He was missing and we were hoping he was at a hospital or something. I don’t know at this point if he was one of the original 4 being reported or not. The other two are ok.

Thank you for alerting us.

Dear Lord, Please surround these families with your love and compassion. Surround them with friends and family who can help them through these awful times. Further words fail me. Holy Spirit, comfort these families as you comforted the apostles and disciples in the upper room. In Christ’s name, amen.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Am very sorry to hear of the loss of your group’s Scout....but rejoice that the other two are safe.

This tragedy is beyond words....so just crying and praying.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Probably. I know it was in northern Iowa. Prayers for everyone.

[Think free or die]

Oh dear. I’m so sorry. My husband and I are on our troop committee and the boys in our troop are like family to us. My prayers are with you.

[Guenevere]

I am so sorry....we are praying for comfort and mercy.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Thanks for everyones' concern. We're fine. Just 3 more inches of rain. Yes, Atlantic got 5 inches.

Have they released the names of the boys involved at the camp?

I have been following this all night and just woke up to read your post. I am so deeply profoundly sorry for your loss. Please pass our condolences on to the scout’s family.

I will be praying for them as well as the other two scouts that survived. This will be a hard thing to get over even though they survived. I will pray for their family and friends during this time of grief.

God bless.

If these ahd been the children of Democrats, at some ‘Homonormative Celebration’, ot some ‘Atheism in America Retreat’ or whatever other deviate useless crap that DemoGenerates want to inculcate into their spawn that they let live...they all would be worthless, useless, *dead* little statistics by now...And that would make their DemoPervert parents oh so *proud*. Democrats *live* to be “statistics” in the largest group of “statistics”, that they can work to be in, or *create*.
