How torrential flooding wrought tragedy at a ‘haven' for girls in central Texas
Storms HurricanesFacebookTweetLink Follow As first responders continue to rescue people stranded by the torrential flooding that descended on central Texas Friday, dozens of people are facing a parent's worst nightmare: Their children are missing. A total of 27 children were missing as of Saturday afternoon from Camp Mystic in Kerr County, according to officials. The Christian all-girls camp is located along the Guadalupe River – which rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours overnight into the July Fourth holiday. The devastating storm took the lives of at least three campers, whose families confirmed their deaths to CNN. Other families are desperately awaiting news of their loved ones. Carrie Hanna told CNN her 8-year-old daughter, Hadley, is still missing. 'She is the most joyful, happy kid with a smile on her face,' Hanna said. 'She seemed to be loving camp. This was her first year.' The massive flooding seemed to have ripped the wall off at least one building and left a cabin covered in dirt and mud, with girls' mattresses strewn across the floor, photos of the devastation show. The water line can be seen nearly reaching the doorway. Authorities have pledged that they will not rest until all of the missing have been recovered, with search efforts including boats in the river, searches from the air, and crews on the ground. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Friday promised families of missing campers they would 'do everything humanly possible to find' their children. 'Twenty-four-seven, looking at every tree, turning over every rock, whatever it takes – if your child is one of those truly missing and not just out of touch – to find your daughter,' Patrick said. Over 1,000 local, state and federal personnel are working to comb difficult, waterlogged terrain for the missing, Texas Rep. Chip Roy said Saturday. More than 850 people have been rescued, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a Saturday news conference, including some who were 'clinging to trees to save their lives.' The missing campers are but one element in the sprawling tragedy that struck central Texas, after torrential rain triggered flash flooding in parts of the state Friday. Some parts of Texas saw a month's rain in just a few hours. At least 32 people are dead, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said Saturday afternoon. Fourteen of them are children. The Trump administration is working with state and local officials in Texas to address the devastating flooding, President Donald Trump wrote on social media Saturday. He described the flooding as 'shocking' Friday. Camp Mystic is a private nondenominational Christian summer camp for girls, nestled in Hunt, an unincorporated community in western Kerr County. The camp hosts about 750 kids overall, who can participate in 30 different activities, including archery, canoeing, dancing and fishing. Founded in 1926, the camp provides a 'wholesome Christian atmosphere' and a haven where girls 'develop outstanding personal qualities and self-esteem,' according to its website. The girls at Camp Mystic develop friendships, grow spiritually and strive to 'be a better person' and to 'let Mystic bring out the best in them,' according to the website. The current owners, Dick and Tweety Eastland, are the third generation to manage the camp, according to their website. They've been at the camp since 1974. Authorities were in contact with about 18 different summer camps along the Guadalupe River and said Camp Mystic was the only camp with people still unaccounted for as of Friday evening. The parents of at least three campers have confirmed their deaths. The mother of missing Camp Mystic camper Janie Hunt, 9, told CNN in a message Saturday morning that her daughter had died. The families of Sarah Marsh and Lila Bonner also told CNN that their daughters died in the flooding. In a post on Facebook, US Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama said she and her husband were 'heartbroken over the loss of Sarah Marsh, and we are keeping her family in our thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time.' Bonner's family told CNN in a statement that the 9-year-old has died. 'In the midst of our unimaginable grief, we ask for privacy and are unable to confirm any details at this time,' the family said in a statement. 'We ache with all who loved her and are praying endlessly for others to be spared from this tragic loss.' Other family members told CNN they are still awaiting news of their missing campers. Natalie Landry said her 'brave and sweet' 9-year-old daughter Lainey is still missing. Ellen Toranzo, whose 10-year-old daughter, Greta Toranzo, is missing, told CNN her daughter is 'an amazing girl.' Greta is 'very smart, sweet, and good at tennis,' she said. The brother of one missing camper, Blakely McCrory, told CNN his sister is 'so loved from everybody around her.' The family also lost their father in March, he said. 'I'm just hoping she comes back home safe,' McCrory said. 'Our family has been going through a lot.' The camp is located on the Guadalupe River, where heavy rain swelled two of the river's forks, city manager Rice said at a news conference Friday. Storms late Thursday into Friday 'dumped more rain than what was forecasted on both of those forks,' Rice said, describing how the river swelled from 7 feet to 29 feet in a short amount of time during the night. 'All of that converged at the Guadalupe, and that's where we saw those very quick rising floods,' Rice said. Rice also noted not all areas along the river have alarms to flag flooding. The alarms are typically 'further downstream,' he said, in places such as in Comfort, which sits about 15 miles southeast of Kerrville. Early Friday morning, about 107 game wardens and an aviation group tried to access Camp Mystic, according to officials. Shortly after midday, they were able to enter the camp and start rescuing children. Texas Lt. Gov. Patrick said the fates of the children still missing are still unclear. 'They could be in a tree, they could be out of communication,' he said Friday. Helicopter rescues are also underway at Camp Mystic, according to a source familiar with the rescue operation. Multiple flights are rescuing children and counselors impacted by recent storms and relocating them to safer ground, the person said. The wardens, part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, were seen with a line of trucks coming into the driveway, photos from their Facebook page show. Children gathered into the beds of the trucks to be evacuated. At nearby Camp La Junta, one 14-year-old camper says he woke up to 'just a little bit of water' before it became 'more and more.' Wyndham Etheridge told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield Saturday that in the morning, he woke up to people from other parts of the camp coming 'to seek refuge' at his cabin. 'We didn't really know what was going on around us because it was dark. We couldn't see past the trees. All we really knew is that we needed to move stuff in order for it not to get wet,' he said. Etheridge and his fellow campers 'couldn't really go anywhere, because around us there were streams, really strong streams converging and we didn't want to get swept away because of all the runoff from the mountain,' he said. They then tried to move to the loft of their cabin to escape the water, but Etheridge said 'it was leaking up there, so we couldn't stay.' 'So at some point we just decided … we could go to bed for a little bit, but then we woke up again to more water,' he said. His parents told Whitfield they received a text message from the camp Friday notifying them of the flood and that their campers were accounted for. They picked up their son last night. 'All those boys were pretty traumatized,' Amy Etheridge said. School buses and trucks filled with rescued people drove into a reunification center in Ingram, Texas, on Friday as families reunited with their children from the nearby girls' and boys' camps. At Ingram Elementary, families embraced as people lined up around the building and others loaded into an army-style truck. Prev Next Some of the children appeared to be emotionally shaken and were heard telling their parents, 'I just want to go home.' Helicopters were seen landing and dropping off campers at the reunification center as yellow school buses arrived, video footage shows. Mystic isn't the only girls' camp that lost members in the catastrophic flooding. Jane Ragsdale, camp director and co-owner of Heart O' the Hills in Hunt, Texas, died in the flooding that struck the area overnight, according to an announcement from the camp. 'We at the camp are stunned and deeply saddened by Jane's death,' reads the announcement. 'She embodied the spirit of Heart O' the Hills and was exactly the type of strong, joyful woman that the camp aimed to develop with the girls entrusted to us each summer.' The camp, set alongside the Guadalupe River and 'right in the path of the flood,' was between sessions at the time of the flooding and 'no campers were in residence,' according to the announcement. The facility sustained 'serious damage' that is still being evaluated, the announcement said. The camp will be unable to open for its second session, which was scheduled to start Sunday. Leitha, the Kerr County sheriff, said first responders will continue to search for 'every single person' who is missing in the floods. 'One thing I want to tell you and assure y'all is that we will not stop until every single person is found – we've got all the resources we need,' he said during a news conference. 'Tragic incidents like this affect us all. This community is strong and will continue to pull together during this tragic time,' Leitha said. 'We have been humbled by the outpouring of support; we are very appreciative everyone that's stepped up to help us.' First responder helicopters with infrared technology will be flying overnight in a continued effort to locate any potential rescue victims, a source familiar with the search said. Gov. Abbott said Saturday, 'We will be relentless' in the ongoing search for missing people. 'We're not going to stop today or tomorrow,' he said. 'We will stop when the job is completed.'

📸 Ice-cold thanks to snow cannon? Real strike twice against BVB
📸 Ice-cold thanks to snow cannon? Real strike twice against BVB The last quarter-final of the Club World Cup between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund is being held today in New Jersey. With temperatures close to 30 degrees Celsius, it's quite a heated affair. Cooling devices, usually seen at ski slopes, are being operated throughout the stadium. The "snow cannons" seem to have especially helped Real to stay ice-cold in front of the goal. Madrid was able to punish BVB early in the game with a double strike and secure a comfortable lead. Initially, Dortmund's defense gave Arda Güler too much space. The Turk impressively assisted shooting star Gonzalo Garcia with a cross. Shortly after, Trent Alexander-Arnold set up the 2-0 no less spectacularly. Fran Garcia reacted quickly and finished with no mercy.

Tropical Storm Chantal forms, forecast to reach Carolinas by Sunday
July 5 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Chantal formed in the Atlantic on Saturday morning and is projected to reach South Carolina's coast on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said. South and North Carolina are already encountering dangerous rip and surf conditions during the Fourth of July holiday weekend Chantal, the third named storm of the season, will be the first system to impact the United States this Atlantic hurricane season, which began June 1. Landfall is predicted between Charleston and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina at 8 a.m. Sunday and will become a depression upon going inland in North Carolina on Sunday night, NHV said. "As tropical cyclones go, this storm will be relatively minor and short-lived," Frank Strait, severe weather liaison with the South Carolina State Climate Office, told the Island Packet. In the 2 p.m. EDT update, Chantal had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and was traveling northward at 3 mph. In the 11 a.m. update, the winds were 40 mph. The storm became a tropical depression Friday night off the coasts of Northeast Florida and Georgia. Chantal was about 105 miles south-southeast of Charleston, S.C., and about 185 miles south-southwest of Wilmington, N.C. A tropical storm warning is in effect for the South Santee River, S.C., to Surf City, N.C. A tropical storm watch goes from Edisto Beach to South Santee River. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles east of the center. "Chantal has barely moved since last night, but a motion to the north-northwest is expected to begin soon," NHC forecasters said. "The main steering features appear to be a mid- to upper-level low over the Gulf and a narrow mid-level ridge across the mid-Atlantic region." Some strengthening is expected before Chantal reaches the coast, NHC said. A turn to the northeast is forecast by Sunday night, NHC said. On the forecast track, the center of Chantal is expected to move across South Carolina's coast Sunday morning. Chantal is expected to produce heavy rainfall in the Carolinas through Monday with 2 to 4 inches and local amounts of 6 inches. NHC said these rains could cause flash flooding "The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," NHC said. Storm surge is forecast at 1-3 feet from South Santee River to Surf City and 1-2 feet from Edisto Beach to South Santee River. Also, isolated tornadoes are possible Saturday night into Sunday along South Carolina's eastern coast and much of North Carolina, NHC said. "This was a classic example of homegrown development, by which a tropical storm formed close to the southeast Atlantic coast and in an area where it is typical for July," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said. In Wilmington, N.C., red flags were up at the beach. "The rip current advisory is going to be high for today and potentially tomorrow as well. If you see red flags, under no circumstances should you get into the water," Sam Proffitt, the Ocean Rescue Director at Wrightsville Beach, told WRAL-TV. "Although it might look calm out there and we don't have 8-foot swells coming in, rip currents can occur at any time, anywhere along the beach." There were 192 rip current drownings reported from 2000 to 2024 in North and South Carolina. "For most swimmers, the only thing that they notice is that they are unable to make it back to shore. They start swimming into shore and they notice that they are moving backwards, and that's typically where the panicking process starts, and the whole drowning process then begins," Proffitt said. Officials are also warning beachgoers about possible lightning in the area. In the Charleston area, WCIV-TV meteorologist Sonya Stevens said there is high surf and high rip current risk Saturday and water activities are discouraged, including boating. Andrea and Barry, the first two named systems of the Atlantic hurricane season, have dissipated.
