Catastrophic flash floods in central Texas have claimed at least 104 lives after storms caused the Guadalupe River to rise over 26 feet in just 45 minutes on July 4. Among the hardest-hit areas was Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp, where 27 campers and counselors died and 11 remain missing. Survivors described chaos, collapsed cabins, and rescue helicopters overhead.

One victim, 21-year-old Joyce Catherine Badon, texted her parents, “We’re being washed away,” before her phone went silent. Her body was found days later.
