The emergency weather alert had come early Fourth of July morning: There would be life-threatening flash flooding in Kerr County, Texas. And Camp Mystic – an all-girls Christian camp situated along the Guadalupe River – housed about 750 campers on the flood-prone site as heavy rains started pouring.

Young girls, camp employees and vacationers are among the at least 120 people who died when Texas' Guadalupe River flooded.

The “Bubble Inn” bunkhouse hosted the youngest kids at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp caught in the deadly July 4 flooding in the state’s Hill Country.

Taaffe called the counselors at Camp Mystic “heroes” and wore a tie to honor them and the young girls who died during the Central Texas flood.

Days after floodwaters swept through Camp Mystic and other parts of Central Texas, rescuers recovered the body of camper, Virginia Hollis.
