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 are 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."

Flash floods in Texas have killed nearly 90 people, many of them children. Heavy rains fell quickly in the predawn hours Friday in the Texas Hill Country, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes.
