  1. They actually lost cabins in 1932 to similar flooding. These folks had no plan for flooding, despite losing cabins there before? Lost memory? Denial? Yeesh. #disaster #CampMystic

  2. IMHO, this is 100% a "we don't need to worry about floods, because there's never been a flood here, the cabins are safe" problem, so they did not think through procedures and watching out for a disaster. So, their response was all in the moment with no planning or foresight, and therefore all the mistakes were made. #disasters #CampMystic

  3. Hmm, looks like they can tell your time of death by drowning when your watch stops, if you're wearing one.

  4. Lighting or drowning? Turned out, drowning.

  5. These are the lucky ones who didn't die... looks like delay in evacuating all the cabins by the river (attempting to do the evac one cabin at a time) 😬

  6. Ooh, failure to trigger a major evacuation in time right here. Either too caught up in the moment and loss of situational awareness, or panic, or not realizing how bad the situation was. #CampMystic #disasters

  7. Yikes, normalcy bias kicking in here (i.e. the human belief that "everything is normal" even as stuff is going south). #disasters

  8. Wow.... Emergency Instructions very, very, very wrong.

  10. Interesting, the Texas Department of State Health Services had put in a new requirement (post Camp Mystic) that all youth camps have fiber optic Internet service. (being challenged in court)

    "...The Texas Department of State Health Services has reached an agreement with a group of youth camp operators regarding legal requirements that all camps licensed by DSHS maintain fiber optic internet service.

    Under the agreement, camps that maintain a redundant, broadband internet service will not face potential license denial or revocation for not having fiber service during the 2026 camping season, as long as they meet all other safety requirements...."
