Young campers and a dad saving his family were among the dozens killed in the historic flash floods that tore through central Texas over the holiday weekend.

At least 120 people have been found dead since heavy rainfall overwhelmed the river and flowed through homes and youth camps in the early morning hours of July 4. Ninety-six of those killed were in the hardest-hit county in central Texas, Kerr County, where the toll includes at least 36 children.

THE director of Camp Mystic desperately tried to save young girls in a heartbreaking final act before the vacation spot was ... avid Texas Longhorns fanatic, my #1 fan, and above all else: a hero.

This came as it was revealed that Camp Mystic co-owner Richard "Dick" Eastland died while heroically trying to save campers from being carried away by the deadly floodwaters in Texas. Eastland, 70, lost his life while attempting to save campers from the catastrophic floodwaters that swept through Texas on July 4.
