A special session of the Texas Legislature will address the deadly floods in Hill Country, but the fireworks will come from President Trump’s demand for a newly gerrymandered House map.

More than an hour passed between Camp Mystic receiving a severe flood warning and a decision to evacuate young campers asleep in cabins by the Guadalupe River.

Flood Watch issued by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington due to excessive rainfall, with potential flash flooding in DC, MD, VA, and WV. Heavy showers expected; weekly forecast includes thunderstorms and high humidity.

Camp Mystic's executive director began evacuating campers approximately 45 minutes after the National Weather Service issued a "life-threatening flash flooding" alert.

"2025 has been the year of the flood," said WPLG-TV meteorologist Michael Lowry in a July 15 email to USA TODAY. "The tragic July 4th flooding in central Texas – the deadliest flash flood in at least 50 years in the U.S. – punctuated what’s been an especially bad year for flooding across the country."

More storms are on the way that could fuel flash flooding across DC, Maryland and Virginia. Here's the expected timeline.

Major I-95 cities -- Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia -- could be impacted as heavy downpours could bring 2-3 inches of rainfall per hour over already saturated soils, which could easily cause flash flooding.

A flood watch is in effect into July 15 for more than a dozen counties as saturated ground gets drenched again.
