Texas, Camp Mystic and flash flood
Digest more
Multiple parts of Central Texas, including Kerr County, were shocked by flash floods Friday when the Guadalupe River and others rose rapidly.
The survival of people in local camps and low-lying areas depended not on official evacuations but on whether they were paying attention, on their own, to weather alerts in the middle of the night.
Maps show how heavy rainfall and rocky terrain helped create the devastating Texas floods that have killed more than 120 people.
Camp Mystic has confirmed the deaths of 27 campers and camp counselors in the catastrophic floods on July 4, according to a statement on the camp’s website.
