Abstract
One week after Hurricane Camille devasted the Mississippi-Louisiana Gulf Coast with 125 mph winds and 20-foot tides on Aug. 17, 1969, a four-man team investigated the damage to buildings and other structures. This report presents photographic survey data from this investigation along with additional data on wind speeds and storm surge. Based on these data, suggestions are made pertaining to the improvement of building design and construction practices.
