Camp Mystic's executive director began evacuating campers approximately 45 minutes after the National Weather Service issued a "life-threatening flash flooding" alert.
A spokesperson for the owners and executive directors of Camp Mystic now says it is not known whether Richard “Dick” Eastland received a National Weather Service alert on his phone. Eastland lost his life trying to save the camp’s youngest campers from July 4 flood waters.
Camp Mystic survivors have described hearing the terrifying screams of their fellow campers in the dark as they were swept up in the devastating July 4 Texas floods. The flooding struck around 3 a.m.
Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.
