Yet it is somehow still a China made up ‘hoax’. How did Putin harvest so many idiots?
When you get this 1-1000 year event next year…..
Federal regulators repeatedly granted appeals to remove Camp Mystic’s buildings from their 100-year flood map, loosening oversight as the camp operated and expanded in a dangerous flood plain in the years before [rushing waters swept away children and counselors,](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/camp-mystic-campers-counselors-killed-texas-flooding/) a review by The Associated Press found.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency included the prestigious girls’ summer camp in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” in its National Flood Insurance map for Kerr County in 2011, which means it was required to have flood insurance and faced tighter regulation on any future construction projects.
That designation means an area is likely to be inundated during a 100-year flood — one severe enough that it only has a 1% chance of happening in any given year.
At Camp Mystic, a girls’ summer camp located in a low-lying area along the Guadalupe River in a region known as flash flood alley, [at least 27 campers and counselors](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/camp-mystic-campers-counselors-killed-texas-flooding/) died in what the camp described as “catastrophic flooding” before dawn on July 4. Some survivors said they woke up to water rushing through the windows.
President Trump expressed the “anguish of our entire nation” Friday after he and first lady Melania Trump met with families of the victims of last week’s [deadly flooding in Central Texas](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/maps-texas-flash-flooding-camp-mystic/).
