I've seen a lot of satellite pictures of Hurricanes, but there definitely was something unique about Camille, it just looked flat out nasty.

You are fixated on wind. Water causes far more deaths and damage. Sandy wasn’t even technically a hurricane at landfall and caused over sixty billion in damage. As the saying goes in Texas, the wind will scare you but the water will kill you.

Since you raised the issue of Camille, a quiz - in which state were there the most deaths from Camille?

A - Mississipi
B - Alabama
C - Virginia.

Correct answer - C, Virginia. From flooding long after Camille was no longer a hurricane.
