Hurricane Camille claimed 256 lives and caused $1.4 billion in damages ($6.2 billion in current dollars). Camille was only the second Category 5 hurricane to hit U.S. land. Its relatively small size and extreme winds made it an unusually intense storm, leaving a narrow, destructive path. More than 5,000 homes were destroyed and 13,000 others suffered damage. The storm surge was so high that one survivor was washed over Pass Christian without encountering any utility poles, buildings, or trees. The storm's remnant dumped a record 28 inches of rain in central Virginia. t LOUDON, N.H. So much for the preliminaries.
