I was going to tech school in Biloxi at the time - it was quite awesome. I think it was only about 195 mph where I was...
Was at Keesler 7 years earlier. Can’t imagine riding out Camille on the Base.
Was working on offshore production platforms in Main Pass Area south of NOLA when Camille came, K-M left us out until it was too late to get helos so our whole crew had to ride back on a tug only 2 hours ahead of Camille hitting.
Camille was the worst. Had she gone into NOLA, it would have wiped it out just like Buras, Pass Christian and Biloxi
