Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before rushing waters swept away children and counselors.

More harrowing stories of survival are being told in the wake of historic flash flooding in central Texas that claimed at least 120 lives, including dozens of children who were at Camp Mystic, a historic summer camp nestled along the Guadalupe River.

Satellite images show the damage left behind after floodwaters rushed through Camp Mystic, Camp La Junta and other summer camps on July 4.

Search and recovery teams are also looking for a missing camp counselor who hasn't been seen since the July Fourth flooding catastrophe.

The early warnings and alerts from the National Weather Service didn’t indicate a catastrophic flood was on its way.

Texas inspectors approved Camp Mystic’s emergency plan just two days before devastating floods killed over 27 people, mostly children, at the Texas summer camp.

Flash floods last week in Texas caused the Guadalupe River to rise dramatically, reaching three stories high in just two hours
