Catastrophic storm, at that time, only the second Cat 5 in the 20th century to hit the US ( I believe the Florida Keys Labor Day hurricane in the '30's was the first). One thing I didn't know about Camille, until I lived in Charlottesville, VA, was that, as she died out over the Blue Ridge, she dumped over 2 feet of rain in one night. This caused horrific flash flooding in some of the poorest areas of VA, wiping out small mountain communities, killing over 100 people. Buried in the 10-20 feet of sediment, some bodies were never found. [/QUOTE]
