All about Camille

Autor Dan A. Ellis
en Limba Engleză Paperback
All About Camille, the 1969 storm, is well documented in this only remaining book in print. It reveals the brewing storm from its early development off the coast of Africa as it proceeded dead center into the Bay of St. Louis destroying the town of Pass Christian with its great wrath. The book tracks the hurricane's landfall and its aftermath with special sections on the towns and cities of Pass Christian, Long Beach, Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Gulfport, Biloxi, and Jackson County. Hundreds of photos show the vast devastation in all quarters along the Coast. Sun-Herald reporter Nan Patton Ehrbright writes that, All About Camille is intended to provide irrefutable evidence about the devastating power of hurricanes to newcomers who may tend to underestimate the strength of hurricanes and tidal surges. The book's cover portrays a view of Scenic Drive in Pass Christian that shows debris - 10 to 20 feet high - in demonstrating how horrifying a Category 5 storm can be. Ellis points out in "All About Camille" that during the 1990s, the rejuvenated Coast not only made a comeback, but grew with pride and vitality which escalated its position as a national resort attraction. Counties and cities renewed their rejuvenation programs and accelerated their efforts in downtown revitalization, city beautification, historic preservation, and the hiring of professional expertise for each endeavor. (As a pre-cursor of symbolic strength as duplicated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina of 2005. Included is a special topical section commemorating Wade Guice, written by Jimmie Bell, a longtime Coast newspaper reporter.
