From a scientific perspective - Hurricane Camille represents bad luck, more than any meteorological extreme. Several other category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic, and supertyphoons in the Pacific, have been as intense. However, unlike many of these super-storms that remine far out to sea, or weaken before making landfall - Camille struck land when at this rare intensity. The resulting property damage was so complete, that sections of the Mississippi coast seemed to vanish.
Is it still there? I went down hwy 90 all the way to Pass Christian. About a month ago...I don't recall seeing it. I hope it isn't gone. Too many things are gone.
