Emergency dispatchers in rural Kerr County fielded more than 400 calls during the six hours when floods began to overwhelm the region overnight on the July Fourth holiday.
“There is water everywhere, we cannot move. We are upstairs in a room and the water is rising,” said a woman who called from Camp Mystic , a century-old summer camp for girls , where 25 campers and two teenage counselors died. “If the water will be higher than the room, what should we do?”
