Camp Mystic's executive director began evacuating campers approximately 45 minutes after the National Weather Service issued an alert about a "life-threatening flash flooding," according to an Eastland family spokesperson.
The flooding left 27 dead, including the director, at Camp Mystic, the all-girls Christian summer camp located in Hunt, Texas along the Guadalupe River.
The director received an alert on his phone from the National Weather service at 1:14 a.m. on the morning of July 4. Based on a preliminary timeline of events, he began moving campers to a higher elevation by 2:00 a.m., according to the spokesperson.
"They had no information that indicated the magnitude of what was coming. They got a standard run-of-the-mill NWS warning that they've seen dozens of times before," the spokesperson said on a call with ABC News. https://abcnews.visitlink.me/6zO79_
