Campers stuck in trees as flash flooding tears through Missouri

Emergency crews in southeastern Missouri conducted multiple water rescues Friday after heavy thunderstorms dumped up to 9 inches of rain, trapping campers in trees and prompting a request for state mutual aid. The National Weather Service issued a catastrophic flash flood emergency for parts of Iron and Reynolds counties. Several roads, including Missouri Route 21 and Highway K, were closed due to flooding up to 5 feet deep. The Lesterville R-IV School District opened its building as a temporary shelter.

Black bear attacks tent in Wyoming despite clean camp

In early July, a black bear attacked a campsite in Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest, ignoring attempts by two campers and their four dogs to scare it away. The bear tore into a tent with no food or scented items, and the women had to hide in their cars and drive off. Chris Servheen, former national grizzly bear recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the bear should be euthanized due to its aggressive behavior. The incident occurred on July 5 near Fool Creek; the bear returned in the morning and destroyed the campsite.
