Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The families of nine Camp Mystic campers and counselors who died in severe flooding over the summer in Texas have filed three separate lawsuits against the camp and its owners, alleging gross negligence for waiting until "it was too late."
The Fourth of July flood, along the Guadalupe River, killed 25 campers, two counselors and the camp's director.
According to the lawsuit filed Monday in Texas state court, the families accused the all-girls Christian camp of waiting until "it was too late" to evacuate the cabins as the nearby river overflowed its banks where they slept.
"The 1:14 a.m. flash flood warning was the time to begin saving lives," the lawsuit states, as the families called the deaths "entirely preventable."
