Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain.
"And our cabins are high up, and for them to be flooding, it's like, you know, something's wrong," Georgia Jones said.
The emergency weather alert had come early Fourth of July morning: There would be life-threatening flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas.
The remains of Katherine Ferruzzo, the only Camp Mystic counselor who remained unaccounted for, were found Friday, her family said in a statement. Ferruzzo, 19, is among the 27 Camp Mystic campers and counselors who died during the devastating July 4 flooding in Kerr County. She was serving as a counselor at the camp's Bubble Inn this summer.
