KERRVILLE (AP): As floodwaters began to recede from Camp Mystic, a torrent of grief remained as the identities of some of the campers who died in the flash floods began to emerge on Saturday (July 5).
At least 43 people, including 15 children, died in Kerr County after a storm unleashed nearly 0.3m of rain on Friday (July 4) and sent floodwaters gushing out of the Guadalupe River through the hilly region known for its century-old summer camps. Another eight people died in nearby counties.
