That was my point. He was spouting off about it not being that bad when we were not getting too many reports right after the storm went through and having gone through several hurricanes sometimes it takes a while for the real damage to be assessed.

I live 15 miles north of where Hurricane Audrey came through. The people here have a healthy respect for hurricanes and do not take any storm lightly. I know several people who lived through that nightmare and their stories are heartrending.

Hurricane Audrey

By Nola Mae Wittler Ross
&
Susan McFillen Goodson
Cover design by M. Antoon McFillen

On June 27, 1957, a hurricane named Audrey hurled a deadly raging ocean of water over quaint Cameron Parish, Louisiana. It was a Category 4 Hurricane and in a matter of hours, wiped out every movable object in her path, forever changing the lives and souls of Cameron Parish residents. Hurricane Audrey killed 425 people, 154 of whom were under the age of 9.

This book is a memorial to those who lost their lives and a testimony of those who overcame their devastation. The stories are all told through the true life experiences of the victims of Hurricane Audrey and should be preserved for them and generations to come.
