Search for Tubers on Chattooga River

Crews with Oconee County Emergency Services are actively involved in a search-and-rescue operation this morning in Mountain Rest. Seven overdue tubers, two adults and five children, did not return from an outing Sunday afternoon. Crews are conducting a ground search while a helicopter performs a flyover of the river corridor. They are focusing on the Earles Ford section of the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River.
