The camp is situated along the banks of the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, one of several areas caught off guard late Thursday night as heavy rainfall caused the river’s water levels to rise rapidly.
Reportedly, within one and a half hours, the river water surged by over 26 feet. It ended by submerging cabins, vehicles, and surrounding roads. There were around 750 girls, aged 7 to 17, attending the camp when the flash floods occurred. While many were evacuated in a timely manner, at least 27 are still missing.
