Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain.

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.

Flash floods surged through in the middle of the night, but many local officials appeared unaware of the unfolding catastrophe, initially leaving people near the river on their own.
