Central Texas Flooding

A new investigative report paints a troubling picture of Camp Mystic's preparedness before last year's historic July Fourth floods, which killed 25 campers and two counselors. The 115-page report will now be used by the Texas Legislature to guide future policy changes.

Reporters been following survivors as they rebuild their lives in the aftermath of one of the deadliest floods in state history.

Camp Mystic faces five wrongful death lawsuits. It wants to resolve them out of court, through arbitration.

The Texas Board of Nursing reversed the emergency suspension of Mary Elizabeth Eastland’s license, but allegations tied to last summer’s deadly Camp Mystic flood remain unresolved.

State regulators say Camp Mystic’s chief health officer abandoned campers and staff as deadly floodwaters rose.

The $4 million system could provide up to several hours of advance warning, giving residents more time to evacuate before floodwaters become dangerous.

The Texas Department of Health Services previously notified Camp Mystic its license to operate may not be renewed unless it made major revisions to its emergency plan.

The Eastland family, the camp's owners, testified the day after a team of investigators shared findings about a lack of emergency training among camp counselors.

Twenty-eight people died at the Christian girls' camp during last July's deadly flooding.

The two-day hearing marks the first public session for the joint state House and Senate flood investigating committees. Members previously visited Camp Mystic, where 27 girls and the director died.

The camp has 45 days to revise its emergency plan.

The family of 8-year-old Cile Steward, whose body has not been found, said they are worried that evidence could be destroyed if Camp Mystic were to reopen this summer.
