Severe storms swept through Central Texas over the weekend, causing catastrophic flooding across multiple counties. Notably, the historic Camp Mystic near Hunt, Texas, sustained extensive damage as rivers overflowed and unprecedented rainfall inundated the region.

Widespread Flooding Impacts Hill Country

Heavy rainfall, measuring up to 15 inches in some areas, led to flash floods along the Guadalupe and South Llano rivers. Kerr, Gillespie, and Kendall counties were among the hardest hit. Local authorities declared disaster zones and issued evacuation orders as water levels rose rapidly.

Camp Mystic Faces Historic Flood Levels

Camp Mystic, a well-known summer camp established in 1926 along the Guadalupe River, experienced some of the worst flooding in its history. Recent drone photos show submerged cabins, damaged facilities, and debris scattered across the campgrounds. Officials have closed the site for assessment and cleanup.

• Cabins and recreational areas at Camp Mystic are severely damaged.
• Nearby roads remain impassable due to washed-out bridges and mudslides.
• Emergency crews continue search and rescue efforts in the area.

Flooding Maps Show Extent of Storm Damage

Interactive flooding maps released by the National Weather Service and the Texas Water Development Board reveal significant riverbank overflows, with some towns along the Guadalupe and Medina rivers experiencing record crests. Satellite images and local aerial photography show entire neighborhoods under water, particularly in Ingram, Hunt, and Comfort, Texas.

Response and Recovery Efforts

Texas Governor Greg Abbott activated the state’s emergency response, deploying Texas Task Force 1 and the Texas National Guard to assist with rescues and supply distribution. Temporary shelters have been established in Kerrville and Fredericksburg for displaced residents. Local officials urge residents to avoid flooded roads and heed all advisories as conditions remain hazardous.
