During Camille, there were 75 I think, who stayed for the hurricane party at that apartment complex which was leveled down to the foundation slab..ONE survived...and I think only 3 other bodies were ever recovered..

I watched a program several years ago on TWC about some woman (who lived in an apartment complex) who talked a bunch of folks into STAYING and partying during the 'cane cause the complex was solid concrete, and there had been 'canes hit before, but none of 'em could take the place down. Everyone was partying on the 3rd story when the 'cane hit. SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SURVIVED!!! I couldn't remember the 'cane that did it. I guess it was Camille.

I went through Betsy, and THAT was hell, especially for the folks in St. Bernard Parish. Katrina will be so much worse.

Yep, that's the story I remember seeing on "Storm Stories" as well. I don't recall it being a "Hurricane Party" though...
