My SIL is at a church youth camp near Mount Hood and sent me a video of her hiking through a thunderstorm in the woods yesterday. I inquired further and she told me the leaders didn't know it was going to storm.
I reached out to our bishop and we're going to put together a workshop so that the adult leaders can be empowered to know what to look for to avoid this in the future rather than relying on a simple phone weather app.
I don't fault people for not knowing, but now that I know it's a problem I feel like it's my responsibility as a meteorologist to help improve the situation. For now they're proactively texting me asking for updates through the end of the campout. Glad to see they're doing what they can.
