Never underestimate the power of torrential water falling. Many have died over the decades from huge flooding.
I hike a lot and always check the weather for the region, usually on multiple sites too. Even on seemingly calm days. There was an orange alert in the mountains for that time. No one should have been hiking in the mountains. The rescue services must be despairing. Why were they there? Did they not get the warnings or did they ignore them? Either way two lives tragically lost.
R.I.P. Well done to all those involved in the search.
