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.

Family vacation at the Broadwater Beach cut short. Went to my great aunt’s house in Wiggins, MS thinking it would hit Mobile and we could return to Biloxi for my Dad’s golf tournament.
Didn’t happen.
My aunt lived in an old house at the end of a long driveway lined with live oaks. In the back was a large pecan orchard.
We had to go into her storm cellar, which was far more terrifying than the storm itself. I remember killing hundreds of spiders and several scorpions.
After what seemed like forever, we emerged a looked down the driveway to what seemed like minimal damage. Turning to the back, not one single pecan tree remained.
Having ridden out Ivan, Katrina and others near Mobile Bay, I can’t imagine the effect of Camille on the coast, if she did that much damage 40 miles inland.

I was 7, and I slept through it. Woke up the next morning to my brothers telling me a tree hit the house. I didn't believe them until I saw it for myself.
That was my first real experience with a hurricane. I remember my parents sending us kids to stay with family in New Orleans for a few weeks while they got things under control in Ocean Springs.
It was crazy coming home and seeing all the devastation, especially the freighters that were grounded on the beach near the Port of Gulfport.
