Tragic picture shows entire cabin of Camp Mystic girls and counsellors swept away in Texas floods - as death toll rises to over 100

A tragic photo shows the girls and counsellors who were staying at one of the cabins at Camp Mystic before they were washed away in the Texas floods.

It comes as the death toll in the wake of the devastating floods has now surpassed 100 and is expected to rise further as more victims are found.

Operators of Camp Mystic, a century-old summer camp in the Texas Hill Country, said they lost 27 campers and counsellors, confirming their worst fears after a wall of water slammed into cabins built along the edge of the Guadalupe River.

“Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly,” a statement on the camp website read.

A photograph, circulated widely on social media, shows 13 girls and two counsellors who were staying in Camp Mystic’s Bubble Inn cabin which, alongside the Twins cabin, housed the youngest of the girls aged eight to 10.

Cabins were less than 500 feet from the river and took in water from two directions, the Guadalupe river and a nearby creek, which made the girls’ escape challenging.

As of Monday morning, the bodies of 10 girls and counsellor Chloe Childress, 18, have been found, while counsellor Katherine Ferruzzo and three campers — Molly DeWitt, Ellen Getten and Abby Pohl — remain missing.

The girls from the Bubble Inn cabin who are confirmed dead are Janie Hunt, Margaret Bellows, Lila Bonner, Lainey Landry, Sarah Marsh, Linnie McCown, Winne Naylor, Eloise Peck, Renee Smajstrla and Mary Stevens.

“We have been in communication with local and state authorities who are tirelessly deploying extensive resources to search for our missing girls,” the camp said in its statement.

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from community, first responders, and officials at every level.”

A Texas reporter shared a statement from Ms Ferruzzo’s family yesterday which read: “As of today, our daughter, Katherine Ferruzzo, a counselor in the Bubble Inn cabin at Camp Mystic, remains unaccounted for.
