Hurricane Camille Cuts Destructive Path Along Mississippi Coast
Camille
(From Front Page)
Camille hit Gulfport shortly
after midnight with winds from
200 to 210 miles per hour. At
2;30 p. m. Camille hit Perkis
ton College. The winds had died
down to between 150-160 miles
per hour, but this was enough
to uproot trees and blow the
roof off the dormitory next to
Harrison Hall. Then there was
complete calm and silence for
about 20 minutes as the eye of
the hurricane passed over the
Perklston area. The eye was
estimated to be about 15 to 20
miles in diameter.
Then the wind was back in
all its fury from the opposite
direction as the storm moved
northward. The velocity of the
wind continued to fall during the
early morning hours as the rain
followed.
No telephone calls could be
made out of Perklston. Only
calls coming In could be made.
About 7:00 a. m. Bob answered
a phone in the office. The oper-

ator had a call for someone sup
posed to be at the college. The
party was known to be safe but
could not be located at the mom
ent.
Bob asked if the operator could
connect him with Covington, Ge
orgia and after 30 minutes the
call went through, via DaUas,
Texas, Atlanta, to his aunt, Mrs.
Don Ballard. She then called
Vicky’s mother and dad, Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. Hooten, and told
them that the family was safe at
Perklston.
Monday morning about 8:00
a. m. both families headed back
for the Hunter home in Biloxi
to survey the damage. They made
good time until they reached the
Gulfport city limits about eight
miles from the home. It took
them three hours to travel that
eight miles. They arrived about
noon and found a good bit of
tree damage, but no damage to
the house. After clearing up the
yard and taking the boards off
the windows they rode down to
the beach in the afternoon.
“You would have to see the
destruction to believe that wind
and water could do that much
damage,” Bob said.
Most of the water damage was
done by the 20 foot tide that
swept in on the coast and then
receeded in less than an hour.

Body Inflation
U. S. Representative Odin Lan
gen from Minnesota made the
comment: “Remember back when
the scientists used to tell us that
the chemicals in the average
human body were worth just 98
cents? inflation seems to have
hit that figure, too. A North
western University biochemist
says those chemicals are now
worth $3.50!”
