Mantrip was passing the loadout and they observed a wall of water and debris coming towards them. They began backing up and hit the berm. EE was the first to exit the mantrip. They were on high ground with water flowing on both sides of them when EE stepped into the stream on the east side of them when EE was swept away. EE's body was found 6 miles downstream.
