Camp Mystic’s owner warned of floods for decades. Then the river killed him

[frigidweirdo]

You can't have camps in church parking lots. The reason these camps are here is children in towns like DFW,Austin,San Antonio where the children can't go outside because of crime. The camps like this is the only time they can see the sun.

Yep, but they will always be put in harms way because Texas and Texans don't want to pay for safety.

You do not give two poops about the dead children you lying and crying *****

History repeated itself when the Guadalupe River swept away Camp Mystic. Why few lessons were learned after the 1987 flood​

After 1987 flood, Texas officials took little action on flood control

The Fourth of July flood bore a striking similarity to the Hill Country flood that killed 10 summer campers in 1987. In the following years, officials took little action to protect against the next storm.

• Moving structures away from flood plains and hazardous areas
• Requiring camps to maintain emergency detection plans with 24/7 monitoring and adequate notification systems for emergencies
• Establishing standards for evacuation plans, including requiring emergency drills for campers and staff
• Requiring emergency management divisions to formally trigger camp-site responses

But none of them say anything about the camp shouldn't reopen.

He warned of the dangers of flooding for years, yes.

Friends of ours in Marble Falls had friends die in the deep road dips NW of town.
