Texas flooding before and after pictures show extent of destruction as nearly 200 remain missing

Devastating new satellite images reveal the extent of the Texas floods destruction at Camp Mystic and all along the Guadeloupe River.

Aerial photographs of the Christian girls’ summer camp that bore the brunt of Friday’s flooding show trees swept away, cabins devastated and debris scattered across the site. Mud traveled hundreds of feet after the Guadalupe River rose an astonishing 27 feet in just 45 minutes. 

At least 119 people have been killed across the Lone Star State. In Kerry County, where Camp Mystic is located, 95 people have been found dead — and 150 others are still missing.

The before and after pictures demonstrate the effects the flooding had on the area in Central Texas

The images provided by Maxar Technologies show an entire bank of trees alongside the river laid to waste.

Dozens of emergency vehicles can also be seen in the aftermath pictures, taken on Tuesday.

At least 27 of the dead were campers or counselors at Camp Mystic, many of them 8 or 9 years old.

The images also show the location of the Bubble Inn, where all 13 campers and both counselors either died or are still missing. It appears to be located farther from the river than some of the other cabins.

Five campers and one counselor are still missing, officials said on Wednesday, while another child not associated with the camp is also missing, according to Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

The camp’s owner and director, Dick Eastland, 74, also died in the flooding.

There have been no “live rescues” since Friday, and the chances of finding further survivors is decreasing with each passing day, Jonathan Lamb with the Kerrville Police Department said at a press conference.

At least 10 others are missing elsewhere across Texas, officials said on Wednesday.

A total of 650 people including around 550 children were staying at Camp Mystic when the Guadalupe River burst its banks early on Friday morning, according to inspection reports released by the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Most of the older campers were staying in cabins on Senior Hill, and were less affected by the flooding, as aerial images show.

However, the cabins for younger campers, along with other facilities such as the Dining Hall, Rec Hall, and camp office, were all directly in the path of the floods.

Emergency crews are covering a long stretch of the Guadalupe River, between the towns of Hunt in Kerr County, and Comfort, over the border in Kendall County.

Kerr County residents were urged to shelter in place and avoid areas of destruction during a Wednesday press conference.

“Our first responders are trying to get to places to do their jobs, and people coming here from outside the community and people within the community who want to go sightsee and look at the river, see the flood damage, making our job very hard,” Jonathan Lamb said.

“We ask folks to give us room to work.”

County residents were also warned not to try and search through the huge debris piles still lining the river without contacting authorities.

“We asked them not to use heavy equipment to take down those debris piles until they’ve been checked by a search party, because it’s possible there are victims in that debris pile,” said Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha.
