Nearly a week after floodwaters swept away more than a hundred lives, Texas officials are facing heated questions over how much was – or was not – done in the early morning hours of Friday as a wall of water raced down the Guadalupe River.

Camp Mystic is grieving the loss of 27 campers and counselors following the catastrophic flooding in the Texas Hill Country.

Several days after devastating floods killed at least 100 across Central Texas, 10 campers and one counselor remain unaccounted for from Camp Mystic, officials said during a press conference.
