Girls’ Summer Camp Confirms 27 Children and Staff Killed in Texas Flooding

  • Severe flooding in Texas during the Fourth of July weekend resulted in nearly 90 fatalities, including 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic near Kerrville.
  • The flooding resulted from torrential downpours transforming the Guadalupe River into a raging torrent, despite early warnings and flash flood emergencies issued by the National Weather Service.
  • Emergency crews searched through debris and rivers for missing people while residents began clearing mud and salvaging homes after the floodwaters receded.
  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump approved a significant disaster declaration for Kerr County, mentioning that the situation was unexpected and indicating he might visit soon. Meanwhile, Senator Ted Cruz asserted that recent federal budget reductions did not affect the timeliness of warnings, emphasizing, "This is not that time."
  • The flood prompted statewide scrutiny of summer camp safety protocols near rivers and warnings that more rain could cause additional flooding in saturated central Texas.
