At a Texas court hearing, Camp Mystic director Edward Eastland testified he didn’t see official flood warnings the night of July 2–3, staff hadn’t held danger briefings, and evacuation came only after waters surged, contributing to the deaths of 27 campers and counselors at the camp; the broader Guadalupe River floods killed at least 136 people, and families are pursuing lawsuits as regulators review the camp’s license ahead of a planned reopening.
