Camp Officials Still Working on Flood Alert Timeline
TEXAS HILL COUNTRY, JUL 14 – Over 130 deaths at Camp Mystic expose FEMA's underestimated flood risks and show how climate change intensifies extreme weather events, with many still missing after the July 4 flash flood.
- On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flash floods swept Camp Mystic in Texas Hill Country, killing 27 campers and counselors including the owner, Dick Eastland.
- The flooding resulted from record-breaking rainfall caused by an overheated atmosphere and the region's steep, rocky terrain that rapidly funnels rain into rivers.
- Camp Mystic, located within a FEMA-designated floodway considered the most hazardous zone, had removed multiple buildings from federal floodplain maps during requests in 2013, 2019, and 2020.
- The Guadalupe River rose more than 30 feet in a few hours with the Hunt gauge peaking at 37.25 feet at 5:10am, while evacuations began around 2-2:30am after a 1:14am flash flood warning was issued.
- This disaster highlights gaps in early warning and flood risk mapping, suggesting a need for improved systems as worsening climate conditions increase intense, deadly storms in flood-prone areas nationwide.
