They have received several "pings" from the phone, it seems to be somewhere around the 10,000 foot level. Yesterday rescues were only able to climb to the 8,000 foot level. The storm is picking up. Wind gusts are now at 40 mph and expected to hit 80 mph tonight. They won't fly 'copters up there unless the conditions are far better (a couple of years ago there was a crash on the mountain when a rescue helicopter slipped into the slope and tumbled down... it was awful).<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow's storm is going to be a good one. Beautiful thing to watch when in a safe place. <BR/><BR/>Going to be hard for the rescuers to move around in. Even the local ski resorts are closing down.<BR/><BR/>Lord have mercy.<BR/>Christ have mercy.Curious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1166055571544011462006-12-13T16:19:00.000-08:002006-12-13T16:19:00.000-08:00Dear Lord, please bless and watch over these three...Dear Lord, please bless and watch over these three men, their friends and family.
