Anybody out there hear about this?

FORKS, Wash. (AP) – The rising Sol Duc River stranded two children and five adults overnight on a sand bar, Coast Guard officials said.
No injuries were reported, and the group got a fire going and had supplies of food and water, Petty Officer Robert K. Lanier in Seattle said. The children were believed to be 5 to 8 years old.
A Clallam County rapid water rescue team was set to try to get the group off the sand bar after daybreak Monday, Lanier said.
The area is about three miles north of where the Sol Duc empties into the Quillayute River in the western part of the county.
The Coast Guard was notified at 5:40 p.m. Sunday following a 911 call by someone who told sheriff’s dispatchers that eight people went onto the sand bar during a day hike.
The river rose and most felt it was too risky to go through the water again, but the caller managed to swim ashore and summon aid, Lanier said.
A Coast Guard helicopter crew from Port Angeles was unable to lower a basket for a rescue attempt because of the dense forest in the area, and the decided to wait until daylight because the group did not appear to be in imminent danger, he added.
