Multiple buildings at Camp Mystic in Texas, one of the many areas impacted by the flood disaster over the 4th of July weekend, were removed from Kerr County’s 100-year flood map, according to a report.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency included Camp Mystic in a "Special Flood Hazard Area" in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County, Texas, in 2011.
Camp Mystic successfully appealed to remove several structures from a FEMA flood zone, despite being located in a high-risk flood area in Texas Hill Country.
Camp Mystic survivors have described hearing the terrifying screams of their fellow campers in the dark as they were swept up in the devastating July 4 Texas floods. The flooding struck around 3 a.m.
