Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) said “something went wrong” when the staff at the all-girls Christian summer camp in Kerr County wasn't warned of rising flood waters on the Guadalupe River, which killed at least 27 campers and counselors.

“The fact that you have girls asleep in their cabins when the flood waters are rising, something went wrong there. We’ve got to fix that and have a better system of warning to get kids out of harm’s way,” Cruz told Fox News in an interview.

Cruz is the latest member of Congress to criticize the lack of adequate preparation for the flash flood Friday in central Texas, which has killed at least 81 people.
