Hurricane Camille was an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm

Deadly hurricanes and their remnants have affected Virginia in many different forms. In August 1969, a hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast caused surprising devastation to Virginia. Hurricane Camille was an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm when it made landfall, smashing the Louisiana coast with winds of 200 mph. She was the strongest hurricane to make landfall on the United States mainland in the 20th century. She maintained hurricane force winds for 10 hours as she moved 150 miles inland. When Camille turned east, her strength was downgraded to a depression, but she picked up additional moisture from the Gulf Stream and produced torrential rains in the remote mountains of Virginia. In just 12 hours, the mountain slopes between Charlottesville and Lynchburg received more than 10 inches of rain and Nelson County recorded 27 inches. Flooding was so catastrophic that all communications were cut off from the rest of the state. At least 150 people died and another 100 were injured. Damage was estimated at $113 million in 1969.
