Book Description
Excerpt from Ecological Effects of the Lawn Lake Flood of 1982, Rocky Mountain National Park I started to hear a sound like an airplane. Also, there were loud booms. It got louder and louder. I thought it was breaking the sound barrier. I kept looking for a plane but couldn't see one. I got suspicious and started looking upstream. I saw trees crashing over and a wall of water coming down. I started to run as fast as I could for high ground. There was a deafening roar. I fell and got up and kept running. I stood on high ground and watched it wipe out our campsite. It knocked everything in its path over; Steve his camping companion] didn't stand a chance. With these words, Steven Cashman described his harrowing experience with the ood that swept his camping companion to his death in the Roaring River. Other campers along the Roaring River estimated the wall of water to be 8 - 10 m high, carrying with it large trees and boulders, so that the water looked like a wet, brown cloud that sounded like extremely loud continuous thunder, or a freight train, or an airplane breaking the sound barrier.
