At least 82 people have died, including 27 campers from Camp Mystic, following Texas flash floods that caused devastation over the holiday weekend.

The loss of life is unimaginable. While we are still grappling with what happened, it’s important to understand the historic nature of this flood. It likely already ranks as the third-deadliest flood in Texas history.

More than 100 deaths have been reported statewide, with most near the Guadalupe River. Several girls from the Dallas area are among the deaths confirmed from Camp Mystic.
