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.

The survivor stories are amazing. 30 foot waves, whole buildings floating away, thousands of water moccasins, wild cows, clinging to loved ones who have already drowned...quite a tragedy.
