Live updates: Texas flooding death toll, Trump visit and latest on Camp Mystic

Young girls were screaming and crying as floodwaters seeped through Camp Mystic’s Chatterbox cabin on July 4, according to 9-year-old twin sisters who were in the cabin.

“Everyone was like crying, and everybody was really scared. And everybody was holding all their stuff,” one of the twin sisters said. The campers’ mother asked CNN not to report the girls’ names to protect their privacy.

Because she had a top bunk, one of the twins told the other campers that they could keep their “lovies” and “stuffies” there for safekeeping until the flooding was over.

The twins said counselors at the cabin told them to climb out of the window to get to higher ground, after they saw a car that they thought would be rescuing them float away. When they got out, the water was up to their chests, the twins said.

“The water was really high, so we walked over, and the counselors were helping us get over,” one of the girls said.

When they got to higher ground, the counselors realized three of the girls from Chatterbox were missing, so they went back to search for them, the twins said.

The twins said their counselors brought the girls water as they waited for “so long” for waters to recede and comforted them when they were all crying.

“Whenever we were cold, they kept giving us hugs and we were crying, they would always comfort us,” one of the twins said.

Later, the girls said they saw a rainbow, which they said was “a sign from God.”
