	Hurricane Camille - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Camille was a Category 5 hurricane that struck the United States near the mouth of the Mississippi River on the night of August 17 during the 1969 Atlantic hurricane season, causing catastrophic damage.
		Camille started as a tropical wave that left the coast of Africa on August 5, but it wasn't until August 9 that it was designated a tropical disturbance, 480 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
		Camille produced the seventh lowest official barometric pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic basin, a scant 905 mbar; the only hurricane to hit the United States with a lower pressure at landfall was the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.
