I was at Fort Polk when Camille hit Pass Christian. Went down on a 3 day pass and couldn't believe the devastation. This was the site of the infamous apartment Hurricane Party. Only remnant of the party was a concrete slab.
I've been in two hurricanes wherein the eye came overhead and the calm is something to experience. They weren't ferocious hurricanes compared with Andrew, Hugo, Camille, but the wind blew and the sh*t flew.
