The first photos from flood-ravaged Camp Mystic, the Christian Texas summer camp from which 27 young girls are missing, tell a heartbreaking story. The images capture both the destruction of the floodwaters—toppled trees and shredded buildings—but also the human traces left behind by the campers.

The death toll from flooding in central Texas rose to at least 43 people, including 15 children, as rescuers search for 27 missing girls at a camp, officials said Saturday.

Generations of the same family have operated the summer camp since 1939. It counts family members of former president and governors as alumnae.
