Rebirth After Camille Near Gulfport Mississippi
Gulfport Mississippi shows revival two years after Hurricane Camille. The 1965 Aug 15 disaster left 250 dead and $1.5 billion in damage, but new industry, hotels, and a growing bank base signal resilient recovery. Bob McHugh and the Daily Herald played a key role with rapid reporting and a new $32 million plant.
