As of 6:25 p.m. on Wednesday, 96 people — 60 adults and 36 children — are dead after Hill Country flooding, Kerr County officials said.

Flash floods surged through in the middle of the night, but many local officials appeared unaware of the unfolding catastrophe, initially leaving people near the river on their own.

Texas state officials inspected Camp Mystic and certified it had a disaster plan in place two days before floods swept through the Christian girls camp in the Hill Country last weekend, killing at least 27 campers and counselors.

Records released Tuesday show Camp Mystic met state regulations for disaster procedures, but details of the plan remain unclear.

Kerr County is reeling from deadly July 4th flooding, with 43 deaths and 27 girls from Camp Mystic missing, prompting evacuations and intense search efforts.

Eight-year-old twins Hanna and Rebecca Lawrence had big dreams for the future. Hanna wanted to be a chef and open a restaurant that fed people in need for free. Rebecca aspired to be a teacher, her father John Lawrence said in an emailed statement. He said they both looked up to and wanted to be like their 14-year-old sister, Harper.

Virginia Wynne Naylor, 8, was at Camp Mystic, a girls' summer camp with cabins along the river in a rural part of Kerr County, when the floods hit on July 4. Her family confirmed her death in a statement, referring to her as Wynne.
