The raging Guadalupe River in Friday’s flash flood through a popular summer camp area in the Texas Hill Country region has left 20 children missing and taken the lives of at least 24 people at the time of publication, including the owner of one of the camps.
The Kerrville Daily Times has confirmed that camp director Jane Ragsdale at Heart O’ the Hills Camp in Hunt died in the flood that began at 4 a.m. Friday from a heavy overnight rain swell.
Hunt is located about 50 miles northwest of San Antonio where first responders continue to comb the areas along the river for survivors. Ragsdale appears to be the first publicly identified casualty in what may become a mounting death toll.
