The youngest girls at Camp Mystic in Texas were asleep in cabins as little as 225 feet from the river when flash flooding suddenly surged — causing the water to rise 20 feet above flood stage in just 90 minutes, starting around 4 a.m. on July 4.

At least 27 girls are still missing after the Texas floods hit Camp Mystic. Nearly one foot of torrential rainfall caused the Guadalupe River to rise rapidly, leading to flash floods. The camp suffered major damage. Many cabins were destroyed, and search and rescue operations are still ongoing.
