took 49 years before another hurricane would make landfall on the Gulf Coast as a Category 5, which was Hurricane Michael in 2018. That helps gives a sense of how extreme Camille was.

Technically true although you might as well consider Katrina a 5. Yea it was downgraded hours before landfall due to EWRC but it still brought a surge similar to Camille
