Girls’ Summer Camp Confirms 27 Children and Staff Killed in Texas Flooding
- During the July 4 holiday weekend, devastating floods swept through Central Texas, resulting in the deaths of more than 80 individuals, among them 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic.
- The floods were triggered by intense early morning rains that caused the water level of the Guadalupe River to rise dramatically—by roughly 25 feet within just three-quarters of an hour—an occurrence officials described as unforeseen and comparable to several months’ worth of rainfall.
- Camp Mystic, located in the Hill Country and known for its century of operation, lost 27 campers and counselors when floodwaters swept through its riverside cabins, leaving 10 girls and a counselor missing.
- On Sunday, President Trump approved a significant disaster declaration for Kerr County, noting that the situation was unexpected, while Senator Ted Cruz defended recent FEMA budget reductions by stating they did not cause delays in issuing warnings but agreed that a thorough evaluation is necessary.
- Search-and-Rescue efforts continue amid warnings of more rain and flooding, with officials reporting 41 people still missing statewide and promising a full review of emergency responses and safety protocols.
