Despite all that has happened in the past year, I still don't think people understand just how incredible the reach and power of a tropical storm can be.
Right now I am listening to thunder from a storm that has been generated by Ernesto. Even though he is a depression. Even though he is some 600 miles to the south.
Before Andrew, the last Category 5 storm to hit the U.S. was Camille. She came ashore near Biloxi, MS.
Who can guess that state suffered the most storm related deaths from Camille?
Hint: I passed the road side marker marking the event during my travels back in June. (and yes, I wish I had stopped to take a picture)
