How many people were at Camp Mystic during the flood?

[Ptah]

During the flood at Camp Mystic, there were approximately 750 campers and counselors at the site.

1. And there were OTHER campgrounds and trailer parks in the vicinity.

2. The lack of adequate warning is important.

I also think so many rescued is a testament to the remarkable first responders.

3. the warnings were fine...

The night before the NWS and local channels and online forecasters all broadcast Flash Flood Watch notifications.

Multiple ones.

Then at 1:14 AM the NWS dropped the flashing red light. FLASH FLOOD WARNING... with predictions of extremely high flood waters and life threatening scale...

The water hit 3-4 hours later.

The Camp director sat on that warning for more than an hour before ANYONE sought higher ground.

4. The point I am trying to make is the rescues are being ignored and blame is the prominent story.

[WarGamer]

6. you're right of course....

But its just human nature to assign blame
