Woman describes ‘horrible night’ at Tenn. campground
(July 6, 2012) -- For Carole Cooper, Thursday began as a sweltering summer day on the mountain. It ended in chaos, confusion, injury and death. She was one of several people trapped at Abrams Creek campground when Thursday’s storms descended on Blount County, the Daily Times reported. Cooper administered first aid to an injured 7-year-old girl; she gave emergency personnel the use of her Chevy Tahoe and its OnStar communications; she provided comfort and opened her cabin for temporary shelter.
