That's incredible. There's so much debris in the water that dams form out of the debris, only to be overtopped and washed away by even more water and more debris.

'We pray that we’re going to find survivors’

Many people died trapped in cabins along the river. Others presumably drowned or died in their cars or RVs, which now lay overturned, smashed and piled together at various locations. Accounting for people camping in RVs and calculating the number of RVs in the area at the time have been particularly challenging, officials said. And debris piles, grimly, may contain more than wood and mud and belongings – a point that authorities have had to stress to the public. Kerrville police Sgt. Jonathan Lamb on Wednesday urged residents to not use heavy equipment on “debris piles until they’ve been checked by a search party because it’s possible there are victims in that debris pile.” Officials also urged people to avoid burning debris.

As campers evacuated to the recreation center, a counselor ran to the camp office and notified a police officer there that the flooding was becoming dangerous. The officer then told the program director that a dire situation was imminent, Clement recounted. Clement and other staff members started piling up their belongings on their beds, figuring the water wouldn’t reach there and if it did the mattresses would float. That’s when the cabin door snapped in half and the water suddenly rushed in. Clements forcefully pried open the other cabin door to exit. The group dispersed along the porch holding columns to keep steady. When the water reached their shoulders, they realized they had to get out of the porch to avoid getting trapped under it. Using the window sill as a foothold, Clement hoisted herself onto the roof, clutching her phone, wallet and a soaked stuffed animal she’s had since she was 2-years-old. Then Clement helped other camp employees up. When one staffer who was trying to get on the roof got swept away and caught on a volleyball net, the women tied their shirts together to help, only to find that the staffer swam against the current and made it back. They helped pull her onto the roof.

How Two Cabins Turned Into an Epicenter of Grief

The July 4 tragedy at Camp Mystic outside of Hunt, Texas, was concentrated at just two cabins where Mystic’s youngest campers bunked and where a confluence of rising water from the river and a normally quiet creek swallowed the buildings before the girls could escape. Of the camp’s 28 deaths, 15, including two teenage counselors, were at a cabin known as Bubble Inn, where no one survived, according to a new accounting of the fatalities by the camp. Eleven of the other girls who died had been in the cabin called Twins, a pair of adjoining buildings, said Jeff Carr, a Camp Mystic spokesman. Another fatality was the camp’s longtime director, **** Eastland, who died trying to rescue campers from Bubble Inn. Only one death at the camp — a camper from a nearby cabin called Jumble House — was unconnected to Bubble Inn or Twins.
