The flash flood tragedy in central Texas has claimed the lives of over 100 people, including at least 27 children and counselors from Camp Mystic – a summer camp for girls.
While search and rescue teams continue to search day and night for survivors, people across the state are showing their support with the color green – which is Camp Mystic’s color.
Ribbons are being tied on trees and lamp posts to honor the victims and support their families as well as a sign of hope for the missing.
Senator Ted Cruz posted, “Almost every house on our street in Houston has a green ribbon tied around the trees, to remember the precious girls lost at Mystic”

“Our hearts are broken alongside our families that are enduring this unimaginable tragedy. We are praying for them constantly,” wrote Camp Mystic. “We have been in communication with local and state authorities who are tirelessly deploying extensive resources to search for our missing girls.”
San Antonio Zoo is also honoring those lost with the color green and stated, “In memory and honor of all those affected, those we’ve lost, and those we are still missing due to the tragedy in Texas we will be lighting the Zoo Garage green for the remainder of July. We invite fellow Texas organizations and businesses to do the same.”
