A painted broken heart near Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas, after more than two dozen campers and counselors were killed in severe flash flooding. New data from First Street, a climate risk modeling company, show a greater risk to the camp buildings compared to FEMA

The data also highlights critical risks in other areas along the Guadalupe River in Kerr County, revealing more than twice as many Americans live in flood prone areas than FEMA's maps show.
