An interesting story. Recall the duck hunter lad who survived because his family's two Labs laid on both sides and provided enough warmth to keep him alive. The same storm earlier wiped out the flawed design Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Everyone has seen the footage of the bridge whipping itself to pieces. The storm crossed the Rocky Mountains in less than two hours! The irony is the Mississippi River duck hunters knew a storm was coming. That's why they went out, to catch birds on the move. But they had no idea how severe it would become. Because the temps dropped fifty degrees during the day, most hunters were not dressed for a blizzard and could not get off the river once it struck. Poor communication from U.S. Weather Bureau was largely to blame.
I hope the family gets some closure soon and I'm truly sorry for your loss.I continue to check on this story every day. It will be 2 years this coming February that I lost my son at the age of 24. It's beyond awful to loss a young child. Prayers for these families.
Search for missing hunters will continue, even on Christmas Day
The families of two missing hunters in Warren County are still looking for closure after their loved ones went missing earlier this month.www.wlbt.com
