The devastating floods that pounded areas of Texas -- including a Christian girls summer camp -- over the weekend recall a similar tragedy that occurred back in 1987.

Before the floods came, Camp Mystic’s sprawling 700-acre campground was dotted with green-roofed, cobblestone cabins and rows of cypress, live oak and pecan trees. After, bed sheets tangled in broken branches. Muddy clothes, an overturned canoe and other belongings from campers remained.
