I have read that Camp Mystic banned cell phones. That makes sense for the kids - to have a time away from the screens - to enjoy camp activities without being drawn into the usual scrum of SM. But...what about staff and senior counselors? There were alerts...
It looks like more of this sort of event will be in our futures. I hope that there will be lessons learned. We have the technology to warn people.
What was the evacuation plan for the camp and was it executed? I worked at a summer camp for several years during college. When we took the kids into a flash flood prone area we all knew what to do and did it, if a storm came. The camp took the possibility of flash floods seriously, planned for them and acted on those plans when necessary.
Incredible video showing the rapid rise of that Texas river. It's my understanding (so far) it rose 25 feet in 10 minutes! Meanwhile, as usual, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was strolling a Caribbean beach!
A video is worth a thousand words. What a horror.
