A Texas Summer Turned Dangerous

Flooded Camp Mystic in Kerrville Texas - July 2025

What started as a typical summer day in Texas Hill Country turned into chaos as flash floods swept across Kerr County, flooding rivers, highways, and even summer camps like Camp Mystic, a well-known all-girls camp near Hunt, Texas.

Dozens of campers were caught by surprise as the Guadalupe River rose rapidly overnight, fueled by intense rainfall and upstream dam releases.

What Happened at Camp Mystic?

Multiple reports confirm that rising floodwaters reached areas inside and around Camp Mystic, forcing campers and staff to evacuate to higher ground.
In one dramatic rescue, a woman was found clinging to a tree near the flooded banks—thankfully, she survived.

Emergency alerts from the National Weather Service had warned of flash flooding across Central Texas, but the speed and intensity still caught many off guard.

Why Did It Flood?

Officials from LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority) opened floodgates at several dams, including Starcke and Wirtz, to relieve pressure from heavy upstream rainfall. This release, combined with local storms, created dangerous river swells along the Guadalupe and Llano Rivers.

Kerrville and Ingram, TX, both saw roads, homes, and camps impacted by the surging water.

Is Everyone Safe?

As of now, there are no confirmed fatalities or missing persons reported from Camp Mystic, but local officials are still assessing the damage and tracking water levels.

Parents and families have been receiving updates directly from the camp, and local news outlets including KVUE and KXAN are providing live coverage.

Final Thoughts

This flood is a sharp reminder of how fast nature can shift in Texas hill country.
If you're in the area, stay alert, check weather updates, and avoid low-water crossings.
