Camille Katrina
Both Camille (1969) and Katrina (2005) made landfall on the
along the Gulf Coast of the United States. It is due to
the nature of both and the media coverage given for the
impact of both hurricanes that many citizens decided to try
to ride out Katrina in 2005. After experiencing Camille
and surviving one of Americas most deadly storms (258 dead
and $1.42 billion in damages), numerous citizens of Katrina
found the circumstances the same this time around, and
assumed the outcome would also be the same, especially
since they did not believe another Camille could hit
them.
