Texas Camp Cabin Floats Away in Dramatic Flood Amidst Rescues

A cabin at Camp La Junta in Texas was swept away by floodwaters during a severe weather event on July 4, 2025. The incident, captured in a nighttime video, shows the structure floating down the swollen Guadalupe River. Campers reportedly woke to their trunks submerged, with the cabin eventually detaching and drifting until it was halted by a tree. According to the video's uploader, Eagle Scout counselors played a crucial role in rescuing the boys, lifting them to higher ground. The lower Guadalupe River is described as a disaster area following the flooding. Concerns were also raised for Camp Mystic girls' camp in the vicinity.
