1957. I can still remember it. I was 7 years old. IIRC, there were about 500 dead and missing. It was a June storm.

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 book of survivor stories. It is hard to fathom just what those people went through.
