Camille was a meteorlogical wonder. Pound for pound, still the single most powerful storm to ever hit the mainland United States.
People always associate Camille with The Gulf Coast, but it killed over 200 people in Virginia from floods.
Hurricane Camille was a powerful, deadly and destructive Category 5 major hurricane which became the second most intense tropical cyclone on record to strike the United States (behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane) and is one of just four Category 5 hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S.
