Camp Mystic owners successfully appealed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to redesignate some buildings that had been considered part of a flood-hazard zone.

Along the Guadalupe River and just miles south of the unincorporated community of Hunt, population 1,300, sits Camp Mystic. The private Christian summer camp has hosted generations of Texas girls for almost a century.

The National Weather Service issued an urgent flood warning at 1:14 a.m. July 4th. Camp personnel did not start moving girls to safety for at least 46 minutes.
