Camp Mystic faces a lawsuit for waiting too long to evacuate as floods swept through cabins, killing six girls.Could this tragedy have been prevented? details below 👇
Families of the six girls who tragically drowned during the July 4 flood at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the camp’s owners, accusing them of gross negligence and failing to act on multiple flood warnings.
According to court documents, meteorologists had issued several flash-flood alerts hours before the tragedy, yet the camp allegedly delayed evacuation and kept campers in low-lying cabins. Parents argue that the tragedy could have been avoided if leaders had taken immediate action.
The lawsuit also claims that Camp Mystic had no effective emergency plan, even though it sits in a known floodplain. Families are seeking millions in damages for what they describe as a preventable disaster caused by poor judgment.
