At least 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic in Texas have died in devastating flash flooding that swept through the region, the camp announced. At least 120 people have died in the flooding that struck Texas Hill Country on Friday.

At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.

Abby, who was 8 years old and a student at Casis Elementary, is the third child from Austin confirmed to have died in the July 4 flood. At least 96 people — 60 adults and 36 children — have died and more than 160 are still missing in Kerr County.

Some camps in the region had to be evacuated, and local newspapers described how Camp Mystic was among those cut off from the outside world. According to a Kerr County history book, floodwaters at Camp Mystic almost reached the top of the dining hall’s stairs.

The body of a young Houston girl reported missing during the catastrophic flooding in Kerr County has been found.

Twins Christi and Misti attended Camp Mystic in the 1980s and ’90s. The reverence for the camp, they said, spans not just generations but continents. “It’s a global sisterhood,” Christi said. “When we went to camp, we had people from Canada, Mexico and parts of Europe.” She specifically remembers camping with three girls from Spain.

For decades, Dick and Tweety Eastland presided over Camp Mystic with a kind of magisterial benevolence that alumni well past childhood still describe with awe.

The data also highlights critical risks in other areas along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, revealing more than twice as many Americans live in flood prone areas than FEMA's maps show.

A disaster plan for Camp Mystic was approved by Texas inspectors just days before devastating flooding killed more than 20 people at the Christian all-girls summer camp, according to records
