Today's Thursday, July 10th.
Here's what we're covering.
A new times analysis of Camp Mystic,
where at least two dozen young campers and staffers died in the recent flash flooding,
has found that many of the cabins were built in a designated flood zone.
Some of them were in an area the county had deemed extremely hazardous.
The camp sits on the banks of the Guadalupe River in a region known as Flash Flood Alley,
and camp managers and emergency officials had known the river posed a danger for decades.
In 1987, 10 teenagers at a different camp in the area were killed and flooding.
