re: Hurricane Camille made landfall in Mississippi on this day in 1969

I know Bay St Louis has been booming the last five years. So what happens if another Camille or Katrina hits that area again? Are many of the houses raised high enough and built well enough these days to make it not such a disaster?

It would probably fair better than prior storms. It seems that way with areas that take storms ever so often. The new homes are being built better and to better standards. What survived Camille and Katrina would stand a good chance at surviving anything.

Josh Morgerman (@iCyclone) rented a place in BSL during Covid just to help with travel for any Gulf storms. He spent part of the 2020, and all of 2021 and 2022 seasons down there in a house that survived Camille and Katrina, he dubbed it "Hurricane House". He liked it so much down there that he bought a lot and is in the process of building "Hurricane House 2.0". From what he's shown and said he's building it about as stout as you can.
