30 Years Later, Camille's Legend Remains Firmly Etched in Gulf Coast Memory

By now the story is legend. On August 17, 1969, the residents of the Richelieu Apartments in Pass Christian, Miss., decided to throw a "hurricane party." A practice that had become commonplace throughout hurricane-affected regions, hurricane parties were, for Gulf Coast residents, an opportunity both to celebrate Mother Nature's fury and to collectively thumb their noses at the storms. But party-goers that muggy August night quickly discovered that Camille was unlike any storm they'd ever encountered.
