Camp Mystic-Texas Flood Massacre

Camp Mystic is a private non-denominational Christian girls' summer camp in unincorporated Kerr County, Texas, US. It is set on a 725-acre (293 ha) campus consisting of two neighboring sites 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Hunt, near the confluence of the South Fork Guadalupe River and Cypress Creek. The camp serves girls aged eight to seventeen.

The camp suffered heavy damage from the July 2025 Central Texas floods, with 27 confirmed fatalities, six more people missing, and buildings destroyed.

At 1:18 p.m. CDT on July 3, 2025, the National Weather Service office in San Antonio, Texas, issued a flood watch for Kerr County and other areas that would later be impacted by severe flooding.[21] At about 4:00 a.m. CDT on July 4, flash flooding began in Kerr County; officials were unable to issue evacuation orders due to the speed of events.[18] The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet (7.9 m) in about 45 minutes.[22] Later, it was reported that camp director Dick Eastland had received the flash flood warning early on 1:14 am, but took until 2:30 am, over an hour later, to begin evacuations. By then, the river was already rising rapidly.[23]

When the Guadalupe campsite flooded, campers took shelter in cabins, a recreation hall, and the tops of hills.[22] The Cypress Lake site of the camp did not have intense flooding enough to flood cabins but there was some property damage like a damaged waterfront among other things.[24] By dawn, the campers at the Guadalupe site and the Cypress lake site had no access to food, running water, or power;[22] Rescue efforts were under way by the afternoon of July 4,[22] with campers taken to an elementary school in Ingram used as a reunification center.[22]

As of July 9, 2025, 27 campers and counselors are known to have died in the flooding, and six were still missing.[25][26] Dick Eastland was among the dead;[27][28] his family posted on social media that he had died while trying to evacuate campers.[29] The camp's infrastructure was heavily damaged,[26] with cabins swept away by the water;[22] the Guadalupe site was reported as being "completely in ruin".[30]

Texas has active rain enhancement (cloud seeding) projects, particularly in West, Central, and South Texas, using aircraft to disperse substances like silver iodide into clouds to increase rainfall for agriculture and water supply, with programs run by groups like the Trans-Pecos Weather Modification Association (TPWMA) and involving local water districts, though these efforts face scrutiny and debate over effectiveness and environmental impacts.

Key Regions & Operators:

  • Trans-Pecos & West Texas: Projects target areas from San Angelo to Midland and the Trans-Pecos region for both rain and hail suppression, often involving local Water Districts and Rainmaker Technology Corporation.

  • South Texas: Another key area for rainfall enhancement, with large coverage areas.

  • Texas Panhandle: A specific project in 2025 used flares to seed clouds in eight counties (Carson, Gray, etc.) for groundwater recharge.

Key Flood Events

  • 1932: Seven deaths and significant property damage from major flooding.

  • 1978 (Tropical Storm Amelia): A stalled storm caused massive flooding, killing 33 people in the region.

  • 1987 (July 17): A flash flood near Comfort swept a bus from a church camp, killing 10 teenagers and leading to a notable TV movie about the event.

  • 1998 (October): A severe storm caused widespread flooding in the Guadalupe and San Antonio river basins, resulting in 31 deaths.

  • 2002: Heavy rains (over 19 inches) led to significant flooding in the basin.

  • 2007 (June): Flooding affected parts of Central Texas.

  • 2015 (May): A Memorial Day flood saw the Blanco River (part of the system) rise dramatically, causing 13 deaths in Wimberley.

  • 2025 (July): Extremely heavy rains caused catastrophic flooding, described as the worst since 1932 in some areas, with Kerr County experiencing many fatalities, echoing past tragedies.

This area has a history of flooding. They knew they were going to cause a flood.

Warnings were given at night when everyone was asleep - too late.
The fact that a cloud seeding event was planned and taking place was not disclosed to the public.

Trump is Commander in Chief.
He is responsible for the extreme weather program that killed your little girls!
Only he can stop it. Defund the weather program!
This is military technology used on civilians!
