Five young girls have already been confirmed deceased when the strong surge engulfed Camp Mystic: Renee Smajstrla, age eight; Sarah Marsh, age eight; Janie Hunt, age nine; Lila Bonner, age nine; and Eloise Peck, age eight.

Dick Eastland, the director of Camp Mystic, perished while trying to pull campers out of their cabins as floodwaters surged, according to KSAT. Jane Ragsdale, the director of the nearby Heart O’ The Hills Camp, also perished in the flooding, even though that camp was not in session, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Photographs taken inside the camp showed the devastation: backpacks strewn around, a drenched plush animal on outdoor steps next to twisted clothes, and mud caked on pink and purple mattresses.

Items were entangled in branches and vegetation as the floodwaters carried away entire walls and halfway up the cabin windows.
