I understand that there are many sides and opinions to this matter. But PLEASE keep in mind NONE of you were involved in this tragedy. For the sake of the victims' families, please keep these hateful comments to yourselves. Hope none of you ever have to deal with something as horrible as these people have experienced.

What I love the most is cowards that want to post but not let all of us see it. What is that white stuff in chicken poop. It's the chicken posters. If you camp you should be like me. Check all things out. I tent camp with my wife about 10 times a year. I listen to the weather reports. Have XM radio. If an adult lost their life it was their own stupidity. As for the children it is terrible. A grown person let them down. Something I would not do.

Last time I checked, FEMA does not require campgrounds to be built OUT of the flood plain or flood way like they do homes/buildings. So that part of the case isnt relevent. As far as the warning system goes, you were camping along a river and it rained. Do we really have to warn people that a river may rise during rain? C'mon. And for the part about the staff not being trained properly, thats a fifty fifty shot there. And by the way, ITS RAINING HARD TODAY, DONT GO TO THE RIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theres a warning.

Sounds like a guy wanting a free ride, sorry for his loss but let's see - Gee, I am camping next to a river, and it starts raining like he$$, might want to consider packing up a little early. This will go nowhere
