More than a dozen Camp Mystic cabins were in a known flood zone, with girls left without phones, internet or power when the devastating flash floods swept through the century-old summer destination in Texas on Friday. Despite a recent multimillion-dollar overhaul of the Christian girls’ camp in Kerr County, the site still had limited to no flood defense, with some of the older campers resorting to shining flashlights from the cabins in an attempt to attract the attention of rescuers. At least 19 cabins at Camp Mystic were located in designated flood zones, including some in an area deemed “extremely hazardous” by the county, analysis of federal data by the New York Times shows.
