A preliminary timeline released by the Eastland family indicates Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, did not start moving children to higher ground until roughly 45 minutes after the National Weather Service issued a “life-threatening flash-flooding” warning at 1:14 a.m. on 4 July. Camp personnel began evacuations at about 2:00 a.m., according to family spokesperson Jeff Carr, contradicting earlier accounts that suggested an even longer delay. The all-girls Christian summer camp, situated on a bend of the Guadalupe River, was inundated when more than 15 inches of rain sent the river surging about 30 feet above normal levels. Twenty-seven campers and counselors were killed, and executive director Richard “Dick” Eastland, 70, also died while helping to move children from low-lying cabins to the recreation hall. The disclosure has added to questions about emergency procedures at the 99-year-old retreat and about the adequacy of local alert systems. Statewide, the Independence Day floods have claimed at least 131 lives, with search operations continuing along the river valley. Kerr County and state officials have not yet completed their investigations into the disaster.
