<\/div>

More than 130 people were killed across several Central Texas counties when storms dumped more than 20 inches of rain in a matter of hours, starting late July 3, 2025.<\/p>

A majority of those deaths happened in Kerr County, and more specifically, Camp Mystic near the town of Hunt. The Guadalupe River broke free of its banks and flooded the all-girls Christian summer camp, killing 25 campers, two teenage counselors and long-time camp director Dick Eastland.<\/p>
