Girls at Christian summer camp missing after ‘catastrophic’ Texas floods

Young girls at a Christian summer camp are missing after their cabins were apparently washed away by “catastrophic” and fatal flooding in Texas, according to a report.

I didn’t see a thread and I’m not sure if this should be in news or missing. This is about 100 miles south of me, we got rain last night but not to this extent. Not sure how many missing there will be. Guadalupe river rose dramatically last night, I’ve read 25-30 feet.

At the all-girls Camp Mystic, located in Hunt – about 17 miles from Kerrville – staff notified parents that all campers at Cypress Lake and Senior Hill are accounted for, adding that those whose daughters are "not accounted for" have been notified.

This is horrifying.
This is also a very “fancy” camp among wealthy Texans generationally.
Parents literally put their daughters on the list for Camp Mystic when they are born so that they will get a spot. It’s one of the couple of girls camps in Texas that requires recommendations and good credentials and a deposit which doesn’t guarantee a spot.
I can’t even imagine the terror of these little girls and their families.
Praying they are all located safe and sound.

This is so awful.

I hope these girls are all stuck up in trees somewhere and haven't been seen from the air. What a nightmare for the families.

Texas flood kills 24 with dozens more swept away from summer camp

Terrified parents of missing girls from a Texas summer camp say they are 'praying' for a miracle after flash flooding swept through Kerr County, killing at least 24 people with dozens more missing.

www.dailymail.co.uk

"At least 13 people have been killed
and hundreds more are feared missing
after historic floods inundated a Texas county.

Twenty three people are missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas,
after the Guadalupe River flooded and surged by up to 30 feet above its usual water level Friday."

IMO
Camps situated along/near rivers are safety hazard.

Thinking of all victims

 

[Fleur-de-lis]

When was the severe threat known, and when were camps evacuated? As well as homes and RV parks, when were they warned? A new system of warnings may be needed. A dam system may be needed, of earthen dams, as we have near Las Cruces, NM. Such a terrible tragedy, children and folks just trying to enjoy a pretty area.
