In a Spanish-language interview with Mexican news outlet NMas on Sunday, July 6, the counselors explained that as floodwaters began to rise near Camp Mystic on Friday, July 4, they wrote their own names on visible parts of their bodies.

My name is Clare, and I’m 28 years old. Three years ago, my beloved grandparents, Helen and Robert, passed away within months of each other. They left me their beautiful Victorian home in Portland, Oregon, along with the rest of their estate, worth about $900,000. I was their only grandchild who had maintained a close…
