Three days after tragedy struck central Texas on the morning of July 4 with a deadly flash flood that has killed at least 82 people, a timeline of events has begun to come into focus. An unknown number remain missing, including girls attending a summer camp.

When the precipitation intensified in the early morning hours Friday, many people failed to receive or respond to flood warnings at riverside campsites known to be in the floodplain.

Some parents are choosing to follow through with summer camp plans for their children, and experts agree that routines are important following a disaster.
