This part of Texas Hill Country is known for flash floods. Why were so many people caught off guard when the river turned violent?
Camp Mystic, the summer haven torn apart by a deadly flood, has been a getaway for girls to make lifelong friends and find “ways to grow spiritually.”
Dick Eastland, the Camp Mystic owner who pushed for flood alerts on the Guadalupe River, was killed in last week’s deadly surge.
The “Bubble Inn” bunkhouse hosted the youngest kids at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp caught in the deadly July 4 flooding in the state’s Hill Country.
That includes 40 adults and 28 children. Ten girls from Camp Mystic are still missing, along with one counselor.
