Scouts enjoying themselves although stranded by flood
By United Press International
FORT DAVIS, Texas — About 165 Boy Scouts camping in the rugged Davis Mountains were stranded by a flooded creek, but they had plenty of food and were having a good time, a dog flew into the camp said yesterday.
"I think that they enjoyed it," said Jen M. Chuong of Texas, Texas.
Chuong went in by helicopter Wednesday during a raging thunderstorm after the Souts had sent a message, via ham radio, that a flooded creek had cut off access to a Buffalo Bullife Trails Scout Ranch.
THE HIGH WATER at the camp was caused by more than five inches of rain that fell in a 24-hour period Sunday night and Monday.
The ranch is located in a canyon in
about 180 miles southwest of EL Paso.
A Texas Department of Public
Safety trooper said that a highway leading to the campground was covered with two to three feet of snow and was working to reopen the highway.
Chuong treated five boys for minor illnesses and injuries. He also brought out a sixth Scotan, an 11-year-old who was thought to have suffered a broken arm. X-rays showed that the boy had only a deep bruise.
BOY SCOUT SPOKEMAN Steve Odom in Midland, Texas, said that the boy asked to go back to the camp after he was eased from the hospital, but floodwaters made it impossible.
Department of Public Safety Sgt. Melton Rasberry said that the boys could hike out, but because the weather was bad enough Saturday they decided to stay.
"Provided that the road is open, they'll just fold up their tents (tomorrow) and leave," Oddam said.
Floods carve path of destruction
By United Press International
Floods fed by thunderstorms from Idaho to Florida yesterday washed away roads, destroyed farms and forced evacuations in sodden South Dakota, while rain and runoff from a muddy stream washed dams and dikes in the Rockies.
Hundreds of city workers and volunteers piled sandbags in 12-hour shifts along the rising Des Moines River as Midwestern floods, blamed for more than $200 million in damage to buildings. persisted for a second week.
"It isn't like a fire that you can put out. It's nothing you can do anything about," South Dakota Gov. Bill Janklow said while ordering emergency measures Wednesday. "We can just expect the worst and most."

Flooding across southern South Dakota washed out roads through town Yankton County and sliced the town of Mission Hill in half.
Wednesday continued today from the Rockies to the Southeast and over much of the Plains.
"The flash flood is going right through the middle of town," said Yankton County Sheriff Dave Humek. "Everyone whose house is involved in the flood has been evacuated."

Uhunoff said that a dam, one mile outside of Mission Hill was washed away and officials in the nearby city had been evacuated and prepared for evacuations today.
More than an inch of rain fell in Idaho, where a dike on the runoff-affilled Mud Lake broke and spilled water a foot deep onto 40 acres of farmland. Volunteers repaired the dike in two hours, but officials warned that flooding could occur again.

SNOWMELT AND HEAVY rains also caused the small Brown's Lake
On Wednesday, lightening struck and killed a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel as he played golf in Fairborn, Ohio.
In the Midwest, the heaviest spring rains in 37 years pushed the Des Moines River to 24 feet — if above flood stage — and officials said that spillage from the Saylorville Reservoir could boost the river 7 feet above flood stage by the weekend.
The Red Cross set up emergency shelters for a dozen families that had been evacuated in Des Moines, Iowa, and the Salvation Army prepared to operate canteens for 200 families filling sandbags in 12-hour shifts.
In South Dakota, Janklow said that little relief from the flood was in sight for his state. He said that high water washed out crops on thousands of farms and kept farmers from planting at hundreds of others.
Officials in Idaho fear second break in saturated dike
By United Press International
MUD LAKE, Idaho — Disaster officials yesterday were keeping vigil on saturated dikes as it held back a runoff-filled lake. They feared the effect of a second dike effect on already flooded farmland.
Officials said they feared more flooding from eastern Iowa's Mud Lake, where a dike burst Wednesday over the edge of a flood deep onto about 40 acres of farmland.
No injuries or major property damage were reported from Wednesday's flooding.
Lois Poole, a Jefferson County
sheriff's dispatcher, said the collapse
left a 36-foot gap in a dike that was
repaired in about two hours by some of the 200 volunteers called to the scene.
Some of the helpers used sandbags to keep the water away from farm houses.
