Texas Flash Floods Kill 32, Leave 27 Girls Missing at Camp Mystic

Floodwaters from severe storms caused devastating flash flooding at Camp Mystic, a nearly 100-year-old Christian summer camp for girls located near the Guadalupe River in Central Texas, leaving at least 32 dead, including three young campers, and around 27 still missing. The camp, hosting approximately 750 girls aged 7 to 17, was struck overnight, forcing an emergency evacuation to higher ground. Rescue efforts involve over 1,000 personnel using helicopters, drones, boats, and ground teams to search difficult terrain, as families anxiously await news of their children. State officials and Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have pledged to exhaust all efforts to find the missing girls, urging the public for prayers and support. The flooding destroyed buildings and scattered debris, transforming the once idyllic camp into a scene of wreckage and heartbreak. So far, more than 850 people have been rescued, but many remain unaccounted for amid ongoing search and rescue operations.
