In a tragic turn of events, happy memories recorded just hours before the deadly floods have emerged from Camp Mystic.

At Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp in Hunt, Texas, where officials are grieving the loss of 27 children and counselors, belongings of the young campers were strewn about the flooded floors of a dormitory, while other items, including a pink backpack and a Camp Mystic T-shirt, were found along the bloated Guadalupe River, photos show.

The Texas summer camp where children died in flooding is in an area meteorologists refer to as "Flash Flood Alley."
