It's April 15th. Opaso News, today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. A security guard from Camp Mystic dropped a bombshell in court this week, emitting that an early evacuation order during last year's Deadly July. Fourth flood along the Guadalupe River could have saved lives. The pre-dawn disaster killed 25 campers and two teenage counselors at the All Girls Christian Camp, plus co-owner Dick Eastland. Glenn Joinky described helping move some girls to safer spots before floodwaters trapped him in a cabin. He saved a group by yelling for them to scramble up a hillside on foot, and kept others afloat on air mattresses through a brutal night of rising, water, fire ants, and spiders. Families of the victims are livid, pointing to no detailed evacuation training and delayed calls to leave cabins. An attorney for one family stressed that using speakers or walkie talkies before 3am might have gotten everyone out safe. Slaming the short.

Emergency notices that, told campers to stay put, and so staff said otherwise. The three day hearing revealed Mistorn Prep and slow decisions from camp operators, with Winky defending the staff by saying they did, all they, could in the chaos. He even noted no plan would have fully worked against that flood's fury. As lawsuits pile up and state regulators review the camp's license to reopen the summer, a judge's order to save flood damaged evidence hangs in the. Violence on appeal, leaving big questions about future safety, unresolved.
