I haven't followed hurricane coverage much in the past either. I've never seen such destruction from a hurricane on a massive scale such as this one, and I'm not old enough to remember Camille. The only way I've seen the effects of Camille were from grainy film footage on The Weather Channel.

I remember this one because it destroyed some historic places my parents enjoyed visiting..Unfortunately survivors of that storm and those who were in buildings that survived that storm felt like they could stay this time..after all Camille was the BIG one.
There was nothing like the coverage that today's cable does then.
