In August of 1969, Hurricane Camille made landfall at Gulfport, Mississippi, with winds gusting over 200 MPH. Just a few miles away at the Richelieu Apartments in Pass Christian, Mississippi, 23 people decided to ride out the storm and have a "hurricane party."

The only method that assures safety from hurricanes is evacuation. Simply leave the area quickly.
