Waveland to Ocean Springs has had more big hurricane hits than anywhere on the USA mainland past 50 years
Four big direct hits
Camille ....the strongest named storm yet....and I was there
Frederic...wind storm and water
Elena ....
Katrina...so big and slow....most swell damage in US history....surge of 33 foot over a coastline that is about 4-7 foot above sea level to Pass road
The coast will never be the same after Katrina
I hope this one spares yall
Frederic made landfall in Mobile, not Ocean Springs but yes, it was big enough to cause major damage in Pascagoula inland to Hattiesburg.
