Days after flash floods killed over 100 people during the July Fourth weekend, search-and-rescue teams are using heavy equipment to untangle and peel away layers of trees, unearth large rocks in riverbanks and move massive piles of debris that stretch for miles in the search for the missing people.

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.

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

Jane Ragsdale ran the Heart O' the Hills camp for girls in Kerr County. The camp was between sessions when the deluge hit. The only person killed there was Ragsdale.

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.

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.

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.

Richard “Dick” Eastland, the owner and director of Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, died while helping campers get to safety during the devastating floods that impacted the area last week. Eastland, who was the third generation from his family to manage the camp, was 74.
