Five months after a deadly flood in Texas Hill Country, newly released 911 calls reveal panic and desperation as over 400 individuals called for help, some stuck in homes, cabins, and trees. Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp, lost 25 campers and two counselors, with the camp director tragically dying while trying to rescue them. Desperate pleas for rescue were heard, including people trapped in houses and floating in water, with some calling multiple times for help. The floods claimed over 130 lives, including a firefighter who saw his wife swept away, though she was later found alive.
