Terry’s Take: Hurricane Camille-the most powerful in U.S. history
Back on this date in 1969, hurricane Camille was rapidly intensifying over the Gulf of Mexico. In just 24 hours (August 17th) it would enter the state of Mississippi as the strongest category 5 storm to strike the United States mainland with a central pressure of 26.72? and extreme winds of up to 190 mph.

There’s still that moron on HuffPo who says Katrina was worst (untrue by any measure except perhaps non-inflation adjusted dollar cost).
They only know the fairy tales they are told and repeat them as Gospel!
Katrina was much larger is size and produced a worse tidal surge, but Camille was a good deal more intense.
The satellite photo above shows that Camille took up most of the Gulf of Mexico.
Allen in 1980 tied Camille in sustained winds, and exceeded it in barometric pressure, at 26.55.
Gilbert made 26.22 in 1988. Beyond comprehension. “It was the most intense hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic basin, until Hurricane Wilma surpassed it during 2005.” – Wikipedia
Wilma: sustained winds, 185 mph; 26.05 inHg.
I was in Glibert’s path in 1988, until it turned away from Houston at the last minute.
