Editing Pass Christian, Mississippi (section)

==== Hurricane Camille ====
Pass Christian was in the path of two of the most intense hurricanes ever to hit the United States—[[Hurricane Camille]] on August 17, 1969, and [[Hurricane Katrina]] on August 29, 2005. Each hurricane caused the near total destruction of the city.

[[Hurricane Camille]] destroyed the Richelieu Apartments killing eight people who had chosen to ride the storm out. Early Sunday, August 17, the storm was southeast of New Orleans by 200 miles. A Hurricane Warning was then announced for the entire Mississippi Coast. Evacuation was advised but some of the occupants of the Richelieu apartments allegedly ignored the warning. The fictional hurricane party depicted in ''Hurricane'', a 74-minute TV movie featuring some notable stars, includes original footage of Camille.
