On this date in 1969 (August 17), the Mississippi Gulf Coast was pounded by Hurricane Camille. It was the 2nd most destructive hurricane (behind Katrina, which hit the same area) in American history. Living in south Mississippi in the early 70's and seeing the destruction shaped my interest in weather.Camille Links:
