LINK

We had a discussion the other day on this board about Hurricane Camille. This youtube link is a decently produced government documentary on Camille that it released back in 71. It shows the devastation. 16:00 is interesting in that it shows how the disaster response was coordinated. Compare it to responses now.

I was 6 at the time, but I still have vivid memories of the devastation the storm left behind when my family took a ride to the gulf coast two weeks after the storm hit.

Damn that documentary was pretty sad. All of those people lost everything with no way of affording to rebuild.
