Another day of searching today has begun as crews try to find one person still missing after flash floods swept through an Arkansas campsite and killed at least 19 people.

A torrent of water swept through the Albert Pike Recreation Area before dawn Friday and piles of tangled debris have made some areas tough to reach.

Forest service officials say 50 miles of river and tributaries have been combed at least twice by search crews, some places three or four times.

The most recent victims recovered were found tangled in debris.
