AUSTIN (KXAN) At least 120 people across Central Texas are confirmed dead, including dozens of children who were attending summer camp in the Hill Country, after catastrophic flooding over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The flash flooding deluged summer camps in Kerr County, dotted along the Guadalupe River, and also left families in Burnet, Kendall, Tom Green, Travis and Williamson Counties looking for family members swept away in the floodwaters.

Camp Mystic

Kerr County officials said at least 96 people died in flash flooding over the Fourth of July weekend — 36 of whom are children. At least 161 others remain missing.

Camp Mystic is a nearly century-old all-girls Christian camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River. The camp has been run by couple Dick and Tweety Eastland since they purchased it in 1974. The grandson of Dick Eastland confirmed on social media his grandfather died “saving the girls that he so loved and cared for.”

In a message posted Monday morning, Camp Mystic said it was grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors. “Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly,” the post stated.

Several families across Texas — and in some cases, in other states — have confirmed that their daughters did not survive the historic flooding that deluged the camp.

“From a young age, [Molly] was drawn to those on the margins refugees, kids who felt different, people without homes. Her instinct was always to notice, to care, and to extend kindness. She gave freely of her time, her heart, and even her belongings, and she taught those around her what it meant to love without hesitation,” her obituary stated.

The family of Hadley Hanna, 8, confirmed she was among those killed. “While we are deeply moved by the outpouring of support from neighbors, first responders and volunteers, we ask that the media, the public and even well-meaning individuals honor our need for space and quiet during this time,” a statement from the family read.
