Episode Details

One year after the deadliest inland flood in modern Texas history, the Texas Hill Country still reels from the devastation that claimed over 130 lives—mostly at Camp Mystic. Torrential rains, up to 20 inches, turned rivers into deadly floods over the July Fourth weekend, leaving two people still missing. Over 850 were rescued, aided by first responders from across the nation. The disaster cost Travis County alone $28 million and spurred new laws requiring floodplain camps and outdoor sirens—Kerr County was first to install them. Yet delays in evacuations and overwhelmed systems were exposed in an investigative report. Lawsuits targeting Camp Mystic, which lost 27 campers and counselors, are now on hold as the camp files for bankruptcy, leaving a community still grappling with grief and unanswered questions.
