Why? I know they lost a child, which is horrific, but every other family member defied incredible odds and survived. Seems like they faired better than anyone who was in a home that got swept away.
Maybe due to the added heartbreak the mom will experience the rest of her life because she will (unfairly?) beat herself up because she had both of her kids in her arms and was only capable of saving one to no fault of her own?

In all honesty I don't think that Twitter post is very accurate, and is designed as a rage bait post to generate interactions. I lived in a flood AE zone with a BFE of 10'. All that was required was filing with the state to build in that zone. Which the camp actually did, and was approved to do so. People confuse flood maps as being used for risk assessment when all they're used for is insurance. In fact, none of the camps structures were below the 100 yr BFE by the records available. But, the area got about 10" of rain in 4 hours. Which puts it more like a ~500 yr event.

The owners wife said they plan on opening back up in the future. She didn’t go into detail but that’s the plan

I believe It is a 8 million dollar a year commercial business..
4500 dollar tuition a kid..750 kids . Two four week sessions. Plus extra stuff for horseback riding.. canteen.. etc
They are a big and well established organization..
I imagine they will reopen.. I also imagine they .. the state.. and county will put new things in place to hopefully prevent this from ever happening again.

I’ve seen $17 million in revenue.
The summer camps around Hunt are the “happy place” for so many. Hopefully, they’re able to return better and safer than before.

There is at least 1 possibly 2 - 2 week sessions also.

FWIW, she’s also an owner.

Plus weddings, camper reunions, etc

This article is a horror story. Chilling to say the least, but an incredible retelling of what one family went thru.

That was intense. Those people were amazing. I got tears in my eyes reading it.

This article is very powerful. I would suggest everyone to read it.

They’ll have to convince campers to return to the scene of the worst day of their lives. They’ll also have to deal with insurance and legal issues. And do all this without their longtime leader.

Yeah i should have stated that better. They were co-owners and if im not mistaken their kids might be part owners if not they run it with them.

I would imagine the owner would want to make it where the campers that endured that awful event would be remembered and celebrated forever. Next year would be their 100 year anniversary I’m almost certain they won’t be rebuilt by then but within a couple years they could be back built.

Remember, the Cypress Lake side of this camp had little to no damage.

That $4,500 is an old figure. Not sure what tuition is now but it is very steep. This camp, along with Waldemar, are where the elite of Texas send their girls. Think River Oaks, Highland Park, Alamo Heights crowd. Mystic generates big money and makes even more hosting special events like weddings, reunions, etc.

No. I don't personally know any of the victims.

Two general questions:
How many people were affected/displaced by the floods?
Also why didn’t the alert go to everyone’s phones? We get alerts here in the south Louisiana area for tornado watches, flash floods, amber alert/silver alert.
It’s all so so sad.
Edit to ask: how did they get permits for this flood zone? Look at the hoops Louisiana (and I’m sure other places) have to jump through to get building permits in some places.

Do you know how many people in the US live in flood zones?
The NYT and NY Post are embarrassing themselves this week.
