Search and rescue operations are still continuing at the Camp Mystic, which lost at least 27 campers and counselors to the catastrophic flash floods that swept through central Texas, United States last Saturday. At least five campers are still missing, along with one counselor. The 99-year-old camp, an all-girls Christian summer camp, remained closed off to the public as of Tuesday. Rescue teams were retrieving the belongings of the campers. Each item was being dried and packed into colorful boxes to be returned to their grieving parents, hoping to provide them with some comfort and closure. Rescue vehicles and cranes headed to the disaster area, while military helicopters circled low overhead, stirring up winds as they searched for the missing. Along the way, the damaged road was scattered with camping items like pots, bowls, and colorful children's clothing among the debris. A poignant scene unfolded as a cheerful red sign, likely once hung on a tree, rested on a broken log, marking the summer camp and evoking happy childhood memories amidst the scattered debris of damaged camping items. According to U.S. media reports, the flooding in central Texas has claimed over 111 lives, with 161 people still missing in Kerr County alone. Of the fatalities, 87 occurred in Kerr County, officials said. Shotlist: Texas, USA - July 8, 2025: 1. Various of flood-damaged houses, toppled trees; 2.
