Video that it treats about the hurricane Camille that destroyed the central coast of the Gulf of Mexico the night of August 17, 1969.
Hit the Bay St Luis, in the State of Mississippi with an extraodinary force; winds that went so far as to measure oneself officially in 190 m/h (305 km/h) in ground but shortly before impact they were estimated in 205 m/h (335 km/h) by a flight of recognition.
It is one of 4 storms in the World that is estimated impactaron with this intensity of maximum winds and only the hurricane Allen of August, 1980 the agreement in the Atlantic Ocean with the difference that are not official measurements of the speed of his winds.
The central minimal pressure (909 mb) is the second one more landfall registered in ground in the United States; the first one is of the hurricane of the Labor Day of 1935 (892 mb). The central minimal pressure registered, before touching ground, reached 905 mb but duarante the flight earlier mentioned could reach 901 mb.
The storm surge produced was monstrous: 7.3 meters (24 feet) and it produced the maximum example of destruction of a hurricane with catastrophic characteristics on having destroyed solid constructions of concrete and having erased them practically of the map.
The hurricane Camila will stay in the memory of those persons who wonder as it is the destruction of a hurricane of catastrophic consequences.

259 people lost their lives directly.

Es uno de 4 tormentas en el Mundo que se estima impactaron con esa intensidad de vientos máximos y sólo el huracán Allen de agosto de 1980 la iguala en el Atlántico con la diferencia que son mediciones no oficiales de la velocidad de sus vientos.
La presión central mínima (909 mb) es la segunda más baja registrada en tierra en Estados Unidos; la primera es del huracán del Día del Trabajo de 1935 (892 mb). La presión central mínima registrada antes de tocar tierra alcanzó 905 mb pero duarante el vuelo antes mencionado pudo alcanzar los 901 mb.
La marea de tormenta producida fué monstruosa: 7.3 metros (24 feet) y produjo el máximo ejemplo de destrucción de un huracán con características catastróficas al destruir construcciones sólidas de hormigón y borrarlas prácticamente del mapa.

  • My family and I had ...

    My family and I had experienced Pacific hurricanes (typhoons) while living on Guam between 1956 and 1958, but they were nothing compared to Camille! Camille was definitely a storm to remember, with damage so bad that when we returned from evacuation, we could not tell where we were on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

  • Keep in mind the ...

    Keep in mind the wind strength of Camille will never be known, the instruments failed. Luckily it was a compact storm and came on a low tide, Katrina came near a high and seemed to want to hang around. Camille is still the one remembered down here.

  • Katrina and Camille ...

    Katrina and Camille are very similar in a lot of ways. Yes, Camille had stronger winds, but it was moving MUCH faster than Katrina, so the impact wasnt what it COULDVE been. In essence, due to people surviving Camille and not leaving for Katrina, Camille killed as many as Katrina did on 8/29/05.
