Camp Mystic, a summer camp in Texas, has filed for bankruptcy following catastrophic flooding that killed at least 27 people. The camp, which has operated for decades, was overwhelmed by flash floods that swept through the area, destroying buildings and infrastructure.
Details of the flooding
The floods occurred after heavy rainfall caused rivers to overflow, inundating the camp and surrounding areas. Rescue efforts were hampered by the speed and intensity of the rising waters.

Impact on the community
The bankruptcy filing lists significant debts, including unpaid wages and vendor obligations.
