Kerrville, the Guadalupe and Camp Mystic: This summer and this fall

Camp Mystic's head nurse has had her license temporarily suspended, in what looks like it could become a permanent action, more fallout from last year's preventable tragedy. Mystic, of course, has not reopened. The Monthly reports on those that have, and the broader business climate in greater Kerrville. It's interesting that a number of other camp owners and general river businesses agreed to talk to the Monthly only if they didn't ask about Mystic.

Per the end of the piece, about how much of the riverside cleanup on the Guadalupe ripped out a lot of soil-stabilizing vegetation, I wonder what a super El Niño, still projected as likely starting this fall, will bring. As in, new river wreckage? I can definitely see that happening. The question is, how far beyond the river itself will this round of likely major flooding go?
