re: 3 La hunters missing

Yes, I am a close friends with all them & their families. All 5 had unknowingly stepped into the blind that had been tied down at same 3' it's always been. Not realizing it swollen up to 7 ft the previous day. Essentially one side was full of water but as they each proceeded to walk the horror that they were standing in a closed blind that was submerged on one side as water started rolling to different ends of boat it tilted enough to bring it down with all 5 inside as it flipped completely upside down. JH opened eyes to look for light & reach further in the blind until he felt an arm. He brought them surface by swimming to the light & it was numbing, exhausting fight & he struggled to save both of their lives. They said one more breath & that'd have been it... They reached land right while he debated giving up & sat hopelessly witnessing the their spouses, siblings, son/nephew trapped in the submerged blind.

It was a tragic accident. JH's mom's best friend passed away from a heart attack as she was trying to console her BF after losing her son.
