The New York Times highlighted the flood-risk area near the Guadalupe River that endangers cabins at Camp Mystic, including new ones built in 2020. Historical data reveals that flooding in Central Texas has resulted in significant loss of life, with an incident in October 1998 alone killing 12 people and injuring over 4,000. In total, floods in the area have accounted for 35 additional fatalities. The importance of respecting the river's power is underscored by a 1990 statement from Mr. Eastland.
