Hurricane Camille: catastrophic storm

Video that it treats about the hurricane Camille that destroyed the central coast of the Gulf of Mexico the night of August 17, 1969.
Hit the Bay St Luis, in the State of Mississippi with an extraodinary force; winds that went so far as to measure oneself officially in 190 m/h (305 km/h) in ground but shortly before impact they were estimated in 205 m/h (335 km/h) by a flight of recognition.
It is one of 4 storms in the World that is estimated impactaron with this intensity of maximum winds and only the hurricane Allen of August, 1980 the agreement in the Atlantic Ocean with the difference that are not official measurements of the speed of his winds.
The central minimal pressure (909 mb) is the second one more landfall registered in ground in the United States; the first one is of the hurricane of the Labor Day of 1935 (892 mb). The central minimal pressure registered, before touching ground, reached 905 mb but duarante the flight earlier mentioned could reach 901 mb.
The storm surge produced was monstrous: 7.3 meters (24 feet) and it produced the maximum example of destruction of a hurricane with catastrophic characteristics on having destroyed solid constructions of concrete and having erased them practically of the map.
The hurricane Camila will stay in the memory of those persons who wonder as it is the destruction of a hurricane of catastrophic consequences.

259 people lost their lives directly.

HURRICANE CAMILLE - 1 RECORD HURRICANE:
More intense maximum winds measured inland (305 km/h ó 190 m/h) in the Atlantic Ocean.




Video que trata acerca del huracán Camila que asoló la costa central del Golfo de México la noche del 17 de agosto de 1969.
Impactó la Bahía San Luis, en el Estado de Misisipi con una fuerza descomunal; vientos que llegaron oficialmente a medirse en 305 km/h (190 m/h)en tierra pero poco antes de impactar se estimaron en 335 km/h (205 m/h) por un vuelo de reconocimiento.
Es uno de 4 tormentas en el Mundo que se estima impactaron con esa intensidad de vientos máximos y sólo el huracán Allen de agosto de 1980 la iguala en el Atlántico con la diferencia que son mediciones no oficiales de la velocidad de sus vientos.
La presión central mínima (909 mb) es la segunda más baja registrada en tierra en Estados Unidos; la primera es del huracán del Día del Trabajo de 1935 (892 mb). La presión central mínima registrada antes de tocar tierra alcanzó 905 mb pero duarante el vuelo antes mencionado pudo alcanzar los 901 mb.
La marea de tormenta producida fué monstruosa: 7.3 metros (24 feet) y produjo el máximo ejemplo de destrucción de un huracán con características catastróficas al destruir construcciones sólidas de hormigón y borrarlas prácticamente del mapa.
El huracán Camila quedará en la memoria de aquellas personas que se preguntan como es la destrucción de un huracán de consecuencias catastróficas.

259 personas perdieron la vida de forma directa.

Katrina and Camille are very similar in a lot of ways. Yes, Camille had stronger winds, but it was moving MUCH faster than Katrina, so the impact wasnt what it COULDVE been. In essence, due to people surviving Camille and not leaving for Katrina, Camille killed as many as Katrina did on 8/29/05.

Imagine a Camille today... *shudders.*

this is for danw1374 - i lived through this event, just up the coast line, in buloxi - we were informed that the meter that records the wind speed broke @ 220 miles per hour

I always used to wonder why I didn't remember Woodstock. Later on I realized Camille happened the same weekend. As a 9-year-old, this stuff must have interested me a lot more than hippies getting high with Hendrix.

Some reports say camilles winds actually went well over 200mph, can anyone confirm this? if so thats incredible

I was on vacation with my mom and dad. We had stopped to eat that night in the city and had called our family in Ohio to tell them that we were going to spend the night there. Dad decided after that to drive a little further and we had no idea this had happened after we had left. Remember there were no cellphones etc... back then. Our family in Ohio were scared to death. We heard about it the next morning and called home right away. I find myself quite blessed that we drove on.

I was nearly 7 when this happened... my Dad took me there 2 weeks after it hit. He took some incredible 8mm footage. I remember seeing adults crying like babies, US Army vehicles everywhere... and the local police asking if we had any water. Too bad Mom burned all Dad's 8mm tapes in '79 when she found an old stag movie mixed in.

i was looking on the computer and saw it saying it was comparing katrina to camille.i thought katrina was the biggest lols.

Sorry for what I camille, have done. But I could not stop it. I have to say when i get mad, i can turn into a hurricane sometimes.

[trasymasy7]

@lovencaredoula my name is Camille. We should all feel srry for what we have donem :(

[machiavelli1980]

hurricane allen tied camille in wind speed not surpassed. and 190 for camille was a low side given the reading was tooken after her winds broke the instrument, meaning the winds were most likely higher than 190
