The director of Camp Mystic, a Texas summer camp where 27 campers and counselors died in a devastating flood in 2025, testified that he did not see early warnings issued by federal and state authorities the day before the storm struck.

The camp official stated that staff held no meetings to discuss the pending weather danger, despite warnings that had been distributed by government agencies prior to the fatal flooding event.

The flood at Camp Mystic resulted in the deaths of 27 individuals, including both young campers and staff members who were supervising activities at the facility.

The director's testimony raises questions about communication protocols and emergency preparedness procedures at the camp. Federal and state agencies had issued warnings about the approaching severe weather conditions that ultimately led to the deadly flooding.

Investigators are examining how information about the impending storm was disseminated and whether proper safety protocols were followed in the hours leading up to the tragedy that claimed nearly three dozen lives.
