Praying they are found soon and prayers to family and friends.

How tragic. I pray that the dad and teens are recovered.

Wondering how the recent tornado a couple of hours north in Nashville has hindered any efforts for recovery. I am several hours south, but we are swollen with so much rain down here.

I was so hoping that a recovery would happen quickly so that the families could lay them to rest sooner rather than later.

I didn’t even think about the tornadoes. I bet it has affected the recovery effort.
I’m in AR and it is a lot like you...so much rain; the rivers and bayous are so swollen. They can’t hold too much more.

4 separate Tornadoes, devistated several areas. They need help, sorry OT. Am sure this has taken every responder that can get there. Prayers for Tennessee , continue to pray for these missing fishermen. Tragic situation cannot imagine what these families are going through. MOO

The crews and staff of Fish and Game went above the call of duty here given the river conditions when and after they went missing. I hope all three are brought back to their families to rest.
