I am seeing little local SAHM businesses making T-shirts for sale with victims names/images and claiming the money made will go to the families, but no known connections to the families

We saw things similar on Texags when MFBarnes started the GoFundMe for someone he didn't know without their knowledge.

Goodness, I find myself praying every 10 minutes it seems. I have been following, crying, and praying since the 4th. I found myself somewhat hopeless last night when a dear friend called me and told me he was putting together a supply drive. It gave me the purpose to at least do something to help.

The only reason I post this is because there are probably many of you out there that feel the same way. Find another Ag close to you and use your network of friends to find a way to help without being up there. I cannot say it has changed the absolute heartbreak I feel, but it was at least something.

They need cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, bleach, etc. They have plenty of water and food. It is the day-to-day things they are needing.

Gig'Em and God bless. Holding a special place in my heart for you Derm and all the other Ags suffering from this catastrophe.

As a child advocate that works with police this is a wonderful idea. As noted most police cars have a stuffed animal in them for a child but right now that is certainly not enough. Remember there are plenty of children suffering not just the ones at Camp Mystic.

From what I've been told, Cypress Lake was relatively unaffected by floodwaters. It is where they evacuated the kids from the flats to once the flood waters receded. The only place where it got bad was on the flats. Senior hill was also relatively unaffected by floodwaters as well but they were somewhat trapped up there for some time by the surrounding waters.

My daughter was at Cyoress Lakes (Nightengales Nook). From what she has told me, all there cabins were okay. The water damage in her cabin was from rain, not flooding.

The girls from Guadalupe were brought to Cyoress at some point. They have a generator at the mess hall so they could feed the girls. The Cypress Lakes girls each gave a set of clothes so the Guad girls could have something dry and clean to wear.

The Guad girls (and any girls with injuries) were helicoptered out, and Cypress girls were driven out by Game Wardens. The golf holes at Guad and soccer field at Cypress where used for helicopter landings.

Girls were driven to a church (not sure which one) were they went through triage, then out on a bus and driven to Ingram High where they were checked in, and then to another school to get checked out and leave or stay the night.

I know it's easy to start blaming people for false information but for people like Dermdoc and I this is very personal and we know y'all are hurting as well so we want to give the information we get and we are optimistic and trend towards the positive. Mary Grace is a sweet kind girl with the cutest personality and she loves to be a big sister. Her mom is the essence of a momma bear and her dad is the best Aggie I know. Please remember to keep her and the rest of twins cabin in your prayers. The noise doesn't mean anything without our girls.
Thank you. I am literally without words and for those who know me, that is rare. My goodness, I am an old ornery coot who never cries and I am crying like a baby. This rips your soul out.


We're here for you Derm. God bless you and prayers sent

I'm not. Umpires are people too. That cranky old man is a mean son of a b*tch. He's also an Astro's fan. He sucks.


Not, really. He's one of the best and he would give his Aggie slippers off of his feet to anyone that needed them. Ed is the best shlt Aggie and Christian man I have ever met. I have no words of comfort to give right now.


Who told you that lie?


I resemble that remark.

Continued prayers to you and your family Derm. Continued prayers to others on here directly impacted. Summer camp life is special for kids growing up in Texas. Whether it's Mystic, La Junta, Pine Cove, Longhorn, Kickapoo, or or the many others camps in Texas, these kids were doing what they loved. It was our girls favorite time of the year and they spent all year planning for it. It's also where they learned to love The Lord. Seeing those Mystic cabins with the girls' trunks that they decorated and pics of their family hung on the wall brings back all those memories. We pray the families impacted find some peace that the girls were in their favorite place learning about the Lord.

It was the Methodist church in Hunt.

The sun is setting on the first day since that morning of the 4th, that Wynne's family and friends know exactly where she is.

After trying to console my grandsons about Wynne being out in the dark, where they were so concerned she would be alone and afraid, after hours of agonizing, many tears and worried sobbing, after 4 young fathers drove to Kerrville and drove around all day taking her picture from site to site to try to find her while consoling a young mother and father, there is certainity.

I do know that her parents were able to see her after they were told. I cannot imagine the horror of the last few days and the agony they are facing going forward, but tonight we will go to bed knowing definitively where she is.

God Bless little Wynne as she sits in Heaven with Jesus.

Prayers continue for all families and the missing.
This is so so heart breaking. I've been praying non-stop hoping for miracles. I can only pray for peace. God bless these families and those that love them.

CNN just said 41 still missing on top of the 82 confirmed to have passed. Hoping that somehow isn't right and that 41 includes some bodies waiting to be identified and included in the 82.

Pretty sure that's just some bot posting fake info. Seen similar for several celebrities. Good way to get people to click on random websites.

Wouldn't trust it unless comes from a trusted site or directly from his own social media.

The family of a little girl named Mary Kathryn Jacobe (Mary Kate) has confirmed their little girl is another victim of the floods from Mystic.

https://www.fox26houston.com/news/texas-flooding-camp-mystic-camper-dead-kerrville-hunt-july-2025

She was not on the original list of missing girls nor is she in the group photo of the Bubble Inn cabin girls.

May she find peace.

Man, this one hurts to my core. I'm so thankful they were together as they passed.

I love this picture with the both in front of the statue of Jesus. Now they are sitting at his feet, praising Him face to face.

Tweety Eastland, needs prayers. After losing her beloved husband Dick trying to save his campers…she will be fighting battles with grief and remorse of feeling the loss of all of those young ladies.

Her father George Albritton attended A&M in the 1940's with his brothers Ford and Frank, which connects her to your Aggie family even more deeply than you know ( not that that matters).

She and Dick had many hardships including the unexpected loss of their son to a heart attack too young. The hardships she had seen, few could persevere through, but she has grit and God and a great group of children, siblings, and extended family.

I hope you will keep her in your prayers…

Can't believe I didn't think to post this sooner. Thank you for posting.

I ran across this video during a very rough patch of life early last year. It sent me down a rabbit hole of spending a lot of time studying the word through Piper's teachings.

His sermons have been foundational in refining my faith both during and after the trials. I pray that it helps others on this board as much as it helped me.
