From the St. Louis County Rescue Squad: From St Louis County Rescue Squad "Friends, if you're following local media, you have no doubt heard we are working a rescue on Knife Lake in the Boundary Waters of a party of girl scouts struck by lightning.
We can say that the entire six-person party experienced the strike, but two are showing acute symptoms that have us concerned. We have ground/paddle teams en route to the scene, and the Minnesota State Patrol has deployed a fixed wing aircraft to pinpoint the party's position,
as well as a helicopter with their MART team to go at first light tomorrow. We contacted the Army National Guard, but they were unavailable to deploy a Blackhawk this evening due to previous work elsewhere.
Thank you for all your comments, support, prayers, and inquiries. Many agencies are throwing a LOT of effort at rescuing these people, and we as well as media will update you when we can. Stay safe out there, eh?"
