Furious Flash Flood | Freak Natural Disaster Catches Campers Off-Guard

- Every summer, the Basingers and Smiths make it a tradition to vacation together at the Albert Pike Recreation Area in Arkansas. On June 10, 2010, after a storm system pounded the area, trees and debris acted as makeshift barriers, temporarily containing the rising waters. As these obstructions gave way, the Little Missouri River surged forth, creating a mountainous wave barreling towards the Albert Pike campground. The Smiths and Basingers were awoken from sleep amidst a cacophony of destruction outside their RV.

The two mothers sustained such tragedy.. glad they can comfort each other. Absolutely heart breaking. Hope they are healing 🙏
Me too.
It truly broke my heart. Their bond was strong before. Now they're more than friends. They're sisters who have shared a similar tragedy. My heart goes out to these women.
How terribly sad. God bless those two young men who saved so many lives.
I always look for the good in these stories. This one i found hope in the 2 young men that warned as many as they could.
Yep. No all heroes wear capes. They can just be up late getting wasted.
How interesting the world works....they happen to be up getting wasted just late enough to save some lives. I bet they sobered up real fast..
"We the federal govt, have investigated our own blatant incompetence, and have found we aren't accountable for our stupidity causing mass death"
Ah.. the government is responsible for 10 inches of rain, flash floods, people not monitoring their own situations and ultimately not evacuating.. makes total sense🤦🏼♂️
Grow up. I bet you're just the type to always vote (if you are old enough] to cut taxes and funding for programs that could help thereby making it less likely that anyone will be able to precisely predict or deal with acts of nature.
Nailed it
I don't know... If the feds are responsible for the deaths on the public land would that mean the owners of the privately owned camp grounds are responsible for deaths there?
That’s giving them wayyyy too much credit lol
My heart goes out to the moms... If you ever read this... I hope you ladies have found peace since you lost everything. Im so sorry. I cant even imagine.
Thank you again. This story truly one I'll never forget. I can't even imagine what they're going through even to this day. I hope they have found peace and love again. Amazing and touching story you brought to my attention.
@@outdoordisasters ♥️ thank you for covering it so well!!
You don't need to ask people to like and subscribe, those who find you will always join because your storytelling and editing is exceptional and addictive!
You'd be surprise that people won't unless you remind them lol. Thanks you so much!
I agree.. but most of his vids get more views then he has subs.... So if all his loyal viewers subscribed he would make a lot more money and maybe be able to relax and just worry about the channel instead of having to worry about the bills... Not that I would know... I have no idea if he has to worry about the bills... I'm just saying .. we would all like to be in a place where we don't have to worry about money... And if all we have to do is subscribe to a channel we already enjoy to help someone else get there I'm in.
I lost it at the butterfly 😢
Tell me about it. Every time I teared up.
😢 OMG I can hardly watch through my tears and fears. I can only imagine how scary this must have been.
I can't either. Especially in the dark.. and so suddenly ..
Campground in a floodplain...whoda thunk that would happen someday?
yes, because 500 year flood is so common...
I dunno, I'm kind of back and forth on it... I think .. yeah they should have some bells and whistles when the water gets high... But then again... The weather channel wasn't very helpful on this one .. I mean how often would the bells ready get used.... I dunno .. sad story though.
What a sad but informative video. Floods always intrigue me but I didn’t realize how it’s the force of the current that makes it so dangerous. Not just the high waters.
Good Morning...such heartbreak....I believe in the Power of the butterflies, the voice of Love talking to them.
That's so awesome. I see butterflies all the time and I know they are from my mom.
@@americanwoman6246😢
How absolutely horrifying!! Thanks for the excellent content! I'll never think of flash flooding the same way ever again.
How sad this was. I just love your videos! I really look forward to Sunday afternoons!
Glad you like them!
This was a truly heartbreaking story. No parent should ever outlive their children. I survived a flash flood last year while on a thru hike in Vermont last summer. Over 10 inches of rain fell very quickly. Another hiker died about fifty miles down the trail. It’s a terrifying experience that I hope to never live through again. We were given very little warning of this massive storm. The predictions were for afternoon thunderstorms all week long. Something I was used to. After this first massive storm they received about 5 to 6 inches during the week. I flooded many towns including their state capital. I feel for those families.
Wow how scary! What did you do to get out of the situation? Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely terrifying. I cant imagine the stress going through that night. RIP to all the victims.
I usually dont cry watching these, but it was so heart breaking to hear about the butterflies at the end of the video.
With all the studies taken when establishing federal recreation areas, it seems inconceivable that the officials could be so ignorant and complacent about potential flooding.
It's only like a 100 year flood plane .. I think that means never more then once in a 100 year span
@@americanwoman6246 They should still have a pretty clear idea of the topography and be able to correlate that with the amount of rainfall in the area. Hundred year floods don't actually occur every hundred years. They occur whenever rainfall amounts exceed a defined level.
@@jeepliving1 well yeah... But not in living memory of any one alive until this day .. what they need is an early warning system.
I had to leave some things out. They were completely negligent. Ranger was there earlier in the day. No warning.
@@outdoordisasters I guess he figured the hundred years weren't up yet so no problem.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and just want to say that I enjoy your content. I also love your voice, you sound like a professional narrator and the fact that you give survival tips at the end of each video is awesome. Best of luck to you and your channel. 🤗
Hi, welcome to the club! When I first found this channel I binge watched his entire library!! He is a great story teller. And always so factual. He really puts a lot of time into researching these videos. Happy to greet a mutual fan!
@@americanwoman6246 Thank you for the warm welcome, my friend. 🤗
@@Shalimar-zv1zd have you seen any of his other videos? He did one on these fire men that got cought in the blaze not very long ago... Sad story .. only 1 man survived out of a whole crew,
Thanks for subbing! The survival tips was kind of self indulgent when I started my first video. I'm so curious and try to wrap my brain around everything. Probably why many believe I go off on tangents instead of "getting to the action". I want the whole story, the background, and the aftermath. And I also want to learn from these stories. I'm happy that the tips at the end have been one of the more enjoyable aspects of my videos. It helps me, and I hope it helps you as well. There may be a day where we very well may need these tips. Thank you for your kind words!
@@americanwoman6246 I haven't seen that one yet, but I'll definitely check it out. Like you, I'm gonna binge watch all of his videos.
My God, what a heartbreaking tragedy! I am so sad for these families. And equally disturbed by the free pass the government gave itself. 💜
There was a horrible incident that occurred in Minnesota at Jay Cooke State Park 2012.
As a person who visits the park often the swinging bridge was a great part of its appeal.
Thank you for sharing these. If anything hopefully they’ll help folks understand the importance of safety and intuition.
I'll look it up ... See if I can find anything on it.
Wow... It took them a long time to rebuild the bridge. I couldn't find any accounts of people being caught up in the flood. Looks like just property damage. At least as far as the news goes.
@@americanwoman6246 you're a force of nature my friend!
Geez, I'm always in awe and fright at how quickly the éléments can cause the most fury..this story just shows how weak we are in front of mother nature !! Thanks for sharing g and I learn every time how to improve my chances in these circumstances..love you❤
I had been to this campground as a child and there was a set of concrete stairs built into the hillside to get down to the most popular swimming hole where there were small waterfalls.
Returned there as an adult with my own kid and the stairs were almost entirely gone and the whole area had been completely transformed due to this flash flood.
It literally tore massive boulders and concrete stairs out of the hillsides so it’s not shocking what it was able to do to vehicles that weren’t anchored into the earth.
You alone are accountable for your survival.
Stay fit and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Know when to bug out... never expect someone to save you.
If an area was known to flood before, even if it was 100 years ago, it will flood again unless significant flood remediation has been done since.
So sad. Thanks for the upload and your warnings at the end are appreciated🦋💛🦋💛
You are so welcome
My dad hired Shane Basinger, at some apartments he owns for a while prior to this unspeakable horror. In the early 2000's. In maintenance. Horrrible beyond words!
@outdoordisasters I LOVE your channel! Thank you for all the great videos 😊
Thanks for watching!
♥️♥️
Not sure there's many things more terrifying than a flash flood at night.
I live in the desert southwest. While we don't get much rain, the monsoon season means being keenly aware of weather that is happening miles away. A storm on the distant horizon means the dry wash you're hiking in could be flooding an hour later.
I was caught in the worst downpour in Texas that I have ever experienced in my entire lifetime! I had to pull over because my windshield wipers couldn’t keep up with it! It was like being under a waterfall!!!
Oh wow!
I was in Houston, away from home and was also caught in a really bad one the drops were the size of eggs, I was talking on the phone at the time and quickly got off as I wasn't able to see the road through the large drops they came that quickly, and couldn't hear the person on the phone from the drops hitting the windshield. Then when I got into town the waters on road rose so quickly, I found an elevated driveway of some stranger and parked there until water on road retreated. Not sure where you were but in Texas.. everything is bigger! I think because Houston is close to the ocean the weather can get that way. The roads don't drain well either can't remember why that is..
How scary
I hope the mothers don't blame themselves, they did everything they could do but die themselves also. I hope they can carry on with life. I know it will never be the same for them but I hope that they are able to find happiness again.❤❤❤
I can't imagine. Really.... I just can't imagine.
It's Sunday another great video.
Thank you kindly!
Your research is awesome. I had to watch the video twice just to pick up the details.
There was so much. I had to leave some things for brevity sake. And I know there's some that believe I "fluff" up these stories
@@outdoordisasters all any one would have to do is a Google search of specific quotes by specific people at specific times and they could easily prove themselves wrong. Your vids are awesome and I commend you for the effort you put into making great (although sometimes sad) content.♥️
WOW!!! Great video as always!!! Thank you soooo much!! 😊💖
My heart goes out to them. 😢❤
I'm speechless! Another intense OD! You never fail to present an outstanding and educational video! Never doubt the butterflies! Passed loved ones are still with you!
Goosebumps! What a sad story :(
Thank you for all you do,
So appreciate you!
♥️
You're the best Timber! Thank you thank you thank you!

Your awesome! ❤❤ Thank you for helping support my favorite channel! Thank you from all of us who wish we could!
Hey Timber.. did you see the post about tomorrows video? Sounds exciting!!
Great video! you should do a tsunami video
He has .. it's called swept out to sea... The Lisa something story
As she said, one of my first videos. About Lisala Folau swept out to sea in a tsunami.
@@outdoordisasters I check it out!
First comment! Sitting down for this!!😊
Second comment, sitting down with you lol 😆

Don't forget to like the video and each other's comments ... Please .. I think it helps with the algorithms... Which I hope helps his channel grow!
You rule!

9:00..."meanwhile...BILL PAXTON..." I just about spit my drink out. Bill Paxton (Pvt. Hudson) from Aliens with his character's famous adlib: "Game over, man! GAME OVER!"....I know this clip is about to get serious, but all I will see is, "...ok-what now.." and the all time best supporting actor's "...Game over, man...GAME OVER!!!!"
Albert Pike has a campground 😮😂
You know him?
It appears that the meteorologists are wasting their time, meticulously analysing all that data and issuing warnings which go no further than some guy who clocked off at 17.30 and is now sitting on his arse safely at home.
Seriously!
i like how you plant words in there that few could know....
All the creators do it.. like who's going to know someone's last thoughts🤣
@@FluffyFerretFarmsometimes there's other people there will give interviews and they know.
@@FluffyFerretFarmbut I thought he meant big words.... Like vocabulary
Oh so you believe I'm just making stuff up? Every quote has been verified. There were two videos that produced a hypothetical scenario on what may have happened and made to explicitly clear in the video. I would in no way make up quotes.
@@outdoordisasters I believe in those rare occasions the hypothetical there were no survivors correct? And for the record if any one cares I actually did quite a bit of research on this story myself and there are literally over 100 separate stories and interviews from various witnesses or victims. The two moms have really done the outreach the heal grief thing. And the news was all over the area interviewing any body who may have heard a sound. This story really broke the hearts of a lot of people when it happened. It was probably one of the most covered news stories of the decade. There would be no reason for him to make any thing up when there is so many different first hand accounts of it. And honestly I think it's down right ride to imply so. This creator puts A LOT of time and effort into researching these stories putting together the slides and writing the script. If you were a fan of this channel you would know that all ready .... So maybe watch a few more videos and get to know the channel a little better before you spew your negativity in a public square. I'm not trying to knock on you... I'm just letting you know what's up.
They who were monitoring the weather there should have gone to the campsite
to get or tell there to leave.
Not gonna lie, the footage from the movie 'The Mist' was so comically distracting that i missed the narration during those scenes.
There's a few movies in here.. 😉
But spliced together so well!
I couldn't think of another scene where a group of people in a room scared! An awesome movie IMO.
@@outdoordisasters I agree.. and I think your movie clips portray the mood of the story perfectly
Why, did they not leave? It's no point waiting for help get out of there.
So often complacency lies behind these types of tragic events. How a court could find the Forest Service was not in part responsible is beyond my comprehension. Shame on the complacency of the dispatcher that did not pass on the warning. When will people learn you do not build in a known flood zone nor do you camp close to a river or stream. It is all good and well to say "it's a one hundred year event" but the truth of the matter is, a flash flood can occur at any moment and that is something anyone who loves the outdoors must always keep in the back of their mind. It is so sad that so many lost their lives but it would have been so much worse if not for those two young men. I can only hope that the Forest Service has leanred a valuable lesson - post warnings no matter when the last "big" event occured and for goodness sakes people heed those warnings.
Totally agree with you. I was also thinking that the complacent dispatcher that didn't pass on the warning should be let go from her job. Her complacency and laziness probably cost lives.
Rain doesn’t fall evenly, we need more people reporting conditions. I report to CoCoRas daily. It isn’t hard and those reports make a difference
How horrible... I have goosebumps. I couldnt imagine the distress of seeing your babies being carried away by the water. Horrifying
Couldnt help finding The Mist footage funny. That woman was a pain in the butt
they had a duty to warn them but no power to prevent informed visitors from accepting the risk nature always entails. they should *try* to evacuate people
😢😢🙏🙏❤️❤️
😭
FAF, we are women hear us roar!
This is heartbreaking,, but I want to draw a little bit of logic to the situation why did the women survive and not their husbands or their children? buoyancy! They're big strong husbands yes they probably died trying to save other people but they also were substantially heavier with muscle mass, and the kids were too small to have substantial fat reserves to keep them afloat
Makes since
Makes a ton of sense. The little kids didn't have the strength. The young boys had enough strength and buoyancy to survive.
I think you needed to be more clear about who died. How many people in total ?
Did you watch the video? 20 people total. Both women lost their entire families save for both of their stepsons. The two men died and all the small children died.
It's at the end... He doesn't dwell on the death count much.. but he mentions it.
I'm pretty sure the step sons both survived...
Really did a good job on this story.so so sad.poor kidos.and the poor moms
