A band of severe storms bearing down on central Texas has raised concerns about flooding, with heavy rains expected near the site of last year’s deadly Fourth of July floods.
Camp Mystic's plan to reopen this summer — less than a year after catastrophic floods in Texas Hill Country killed 25 young campers and two teenage counselors — has angered some of the victims' families.
The decision for Camp Mystic to stay closed was made exactly one month before it was scheduled to reopen for the summer.
Camp Mystic says it will not reopen this summer following last year's catastrophic Texas floods that killed 27 girls, who became known as "Heaven's 27."
The camp withdrew its license application after coming under intense pressure from families of children who died as well as state legislators.
