The full story on the camp is sad in that they all did what they needed to do. It was not windswept debris or anything like that that got these kids, it was a falling over of the chimney of the building they were in.

I think this should run as a sign for improving the design standard of even the smaller constructions in the area. Put a few bars of steel in that masonry and maybe it will not topple wien a wind hits it hard. Will it save the building? No, but it was not the building that fell on these kids...

BTW, forgive my sense of irony, but Cedar Rapids is having a flood? It just struck me as ironic......

>sigh<
