Texas Flood D**th Toll Surpasses 120, Camp Mystic Devastated
Officials have confirmed that the d**th toll from the Central Texas flood disaster has climbed past 120 fatalities, making it one of the d**dliest weather events in recent Texas history. Among the vic.tims are at least 30 children, many from Kerr County, where the Guadalupe River surged vi*lently over the July 4 weekend.
At the heart of the tragedy is Camp Mystic, a well-known all-girls Christian summer camp near Hunt, Texas. Flash floods during the night of July 5–6 swept away several cabins, leaving destruction in their wake. Twenty-seven campers and counselors are confirmed d**d at the camp, including longtime camp director Dick Eastland, who died while attempting to rescue children. As of the latest update, five girls and one counselor remain missing.
Outside the camp, grieving parents have gathered, many waiting in agonizing silence for news of their children. Emergency crews, including Coast Guard helicopters, divers, and National Guard teams, have been working around the clock. However, officials warn that hope is rapidly fading with each passing hour.
Now, state and local authorities face intense backlash. Critics point to a lack of flood alarms, no elevation-based evacuation plans, and insufficient w*rning systems—all of which may have contributed to the scale of the disaster. Multiple news outlets and survivors have called this a preventable tragedy.
An investigation into the camp’s emergency procedures and the region’s flood readiness is underway.
