Correctly stated it poured. It was necessary to relocate activities and notify the campers. This rain was going to be a true gully washer.

Perhaps you read or saw on the news about the people that perished in high water here in the Kansas City area. That was our rain storm. It rained continuously for 40 hours in varying amounts.

When it became imperative to alert our campers of the flood warnings and the developing hazards the only way we had was to use the Sound Cruiser public address system. Lives and property may have been spared because of the alert.

Some of the campers sheltering in their RV's had no idea of the rising waters. All five lakes were full and overflowing.

I relate this event because an integral part of our warning was the Sound Cruiser public address system.
There were no lives lost and property damage was minimal.

Sadly, our biggest loss, due to the torrential rains, was our public address system. Our Sound Cruiser had given its all in the effort of warning the campers.
