Because he wants to score points by ignoring the context
It was clearly a response to someone saying the camp should just be moved 50 feet higher
there's not 50 feet higher to move the camp
but people keep trying to blame Camp Mystic or White people Or the fact that it was a Christian camp Or the Weather Service
It's the same kind of trash as people who legitimately say New Orleans ought to be shut down, only this person chose to ignore the context

This thread has gone a long ways without getting hostile, guys. No need for insults today.

my post was a reply in which I quoted the text I was responding to on page 7, then this is page 38 obviously everybody else who read that comment read it in context
This is just more hate from unhinged people

I don’t know how the New Orleans canal and levee system precisely works, so if a disaster hits there, I’ll refrain from saying some dumb comment like “wHy DiD tHeY bUiLd ThErE??!”
If you wanna have a productive conversation, fine. It’s low hanging fruit to wait until after the fact to say something lame like that. You’re not disaster proof anywhere in this country.

Has it already been discussed that apparently cell phones weren’t allowed at the camp?
Posted on 7/7/25 at 6:50 pm to c on z
The 5-10 year old girls couldn't, or does that include the adults and counselors? The former would seem pretty common in a camp setting.
Posted on 7/7/25 at 6:51 pm to c on z
The campers aren't allowed to bring cellphones with them because It would distract from the experience of the camp, besides, these cabins were for seven and 8 year olds
The counselors probably had cell phones they had two-way radios and there were cell phones at the camp with staff and personnel
Again this camp was in the act of removing the campers to higher ground and the floods caught them It's a tragedy
Tragedies never make any sense stop trying to make sense of this it's a futile effort

Not allowed for campers, but you lose cell service at the gate anyway. If you are on top of that hill between the two Mystic sites, you may get one bar of service.

Of course not, but there’s a difference between having an opinion and presenting your opinion as fact in a situation you don’t know a ton about.
If someone was gonna say, “hey, there’s going to be this storm that comes thru that is going to surge 10 feet higher than any storm in 90+ years in the middle of the night with a 20+ foot surge in <90 minutes” then of course you’d change how the camp was set up.
At no point if you walked thru the camp grounds would you think those cabins were at risk of a flood. Maybe they should have had experts come in and confirm that for them, maybe they did. I don’t know. I just think some people are being overly critical of the absolute worst case scenario happening.

He didn’t even post an opinion. Just typed out some bullshite.

Absolutely. Some people are being totally unrealistic when it comes to putting blame on the placement of the camp. With this kind of logic, I guess we should abandon having cities or housing anywhere on the coastal US because every 100-500 years they may be annihilated by a hurricane

Whether you believe it to be unrealistic or not those questions will be asked in the coming weeks and months, and they will have to be answered.

Gotta find somebody to blame…
They don’t dare blame reality, which is Mother Nature at her worst… the camps have been there for decades.

I think we all have to accept a certain amount of risk when it comes to the ourdoors. I can see them implementing a better/more accurate flood warning system but I really hope they don't take away the ability to build near the river because it will shutter those camps for good. In most places there is nowhere else to build as the hills and mountains are so steep that it would make it nearly impossible. It's a terrible tragedy and a freak occurrence wrapped into one

It's telling though that another camp in the area kept an eye on the weather forecasts and evacuated 70 people from a low lying area.
Mo-Ranch evacuated 70 people before flood hit

Thank god for that.. but that amount of water level that quick is astonishing. I doubt some of them thought no way it would get that bad that quick. A tragedy all around….

I don't like Fox framing it this way:

Mo-Ranch evacuated 70 children and adults to higher ground without warning from local authorities as flash floods devastated nearby camps
They all had warning. Just because someone didn't show up to hold your hand doesn't mean they didn't have warning.

Based on the reports from Mystic, the same thing occurred there. They relocated the lowest cabins in that same time period. Would have been about the same number of campers, if not more.

Crossroads Tavern. Cold beer and fried catfish on Fridays. Not farmland, but pastures and hills.
