We profile one of the counselors, Ainsley.
who was helping to rustle a group of kids under her charge and get them to safety.
We also discovered things that went wrong there in terms of planning or lack of planning.
So we unearthed a lot during our time in Texas covering this story.
It's funny you talk about that highway paralleling the river.
People told us they could normally not even see the river because the vegetation was so lush.
But when we drove through there, you know, after all this had happened, the trees were torn and twisted.
There were belongings that were stuck in trees and bushes.
And you could clearly see the river.
And everyone you talked to would use their hands to show you how high the water was.
And you'd be like, wait a minute, show me that again.
How high?
And now you're imagining, you know, eight, nine, ten-year-olds trying to escape in this rushing water.
It was really just shock that this water could overtake this area so quickly.
Now, our focus, of course, is on Camp Mystic.
However, there were other places that were struck by the rising waters along the Guadalupe River.
In this case, it was a girls' camp.
There were other camps that were affected by the water, but none had the loss of life that we saw at Camp Mystic.
There is clearly a strong tie between that camp and the community.
You know it better than I do, but it's a lovely area.
