Camp Mystic official didn't see flood warnings issued the day before storm hit

The director of the Texas summer camp where 27 campers and counselors were killed by a devastating flood in 2025 said he did not see early federal and state warnings sent the day before the storm hit and that staff had no meetings about the pending danger.

Camp Mystic director Edward Eastland testified in a court hearing about preserving damaged areas of camp grounds as evidence in several lawsuits filed by families of the victims of the July 4th disaster.

A judge has ordered the camp to preserve those areas, and camp operators have appealed.
