Texas Camp Mystic Flood Hearing Probes Response Ahead of May Reopening
TL;DR Summary
A Texas judge heard emotional testimony about Camp Mystic’s flood response during deadly July floods that killed at least 116 people, including 28 campers and staff, with lawsuits alleging negligence and questions about preparedness. Directors described limited means to contact campers and missed warnings, amid questions about battery-powered alerts and a policy restricting devices. The Steward family’s suit is one of several, and the Texas Rangers are reviewing hundreds of complaints; a ruling on a temporary injunction to cordon flooded areas is expected as Camp Mystic plans to reopen in May.
