US EditionCamp 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.
- Catastrophic flash flooding struck Camp Mystic and the Guadalupe River area in Texas Hill Country on July 4, 2025, killing over two dozen campers and counselors.
- The disaster occurred after record-breaking rainfall from an overheated atmosphere primed by saturated soil and worsened by the lack of a local flood warning system.
- Camp Mystic had repeatedly requested FEMA remove buildings from floodplain maps, and private data showed more structures were at risk than FEMA maps indicated, complicating risk awareness.
- The Guadalupe River at nearby Hunt crested at 37.25 feet by 5:10 am, far above minor flood stage, while the camp's owner received a flash flood warning at 1:14 am before rescue efforts began.
- The flood revealed critical gaps in emergency preparedness and mapping accuracy, suggesting urgent need for improved flood warnings and climate risk management in Texas and nationwide.
