Federal regulators approved numerous appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map dating back to 2013 under former President Barack Obama and 2019 under the first Trump administration, according to a report. Severe flooding led to the death of children and counselors from the camp in Texas last week.

"And our cabins are high up, and for them to be flooding, it's like, you know, something's wrong," Georgia Jones said.

At least 19 of the cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county.

For decades, Dick and Tweety Eastland presided over Camp Mystic with a kind of magisterial benevolence that alumni well past childhood still describe with awe.

"Their focus is fighting through that grief to stay connected with the families of their campers and helping them in any way they can," a camp spokesperson says

Dick Eastland, the Camp Mystic owner who pushed for flood alerts on the Guadalupe River, was killed in last week’s deadly surge.

Controversy erupted after a fundraiser for Sade Perkins, a former Houston official who made racial comments about the 27 girls who died in Camp Mystic floods.
