where did hurricane camille originate from?

Answer 1

Hun, they usually always come from the East side of the world, and usually always hit, the SouthEast coastal states!!! For some strange reason!!! I guess years ago, since they began getting them more & more frequently, they decided to begin naming them!! I just feel sorry for anyone who went back home to Louisiana!! I mean my gosh, its proven that with the Global-Warming, that Louisiana will one day, be under water permenantly!!! There already at Sea-Level, and with these 3 football sized miles long barges of snow falling into the ocean, here recently, it wont be long at all before they for sure will be under water!!! Plus all of this BAZARRE cold wheather, will also make for some abnormally HOT summer's!!! And even more melting snow, raising the ocean's water's even higher!!! Its all so sad, and a bit SCARY!!! I just feel so sorry for all of the winter wild life!!! My sister emailed me a picture of a Polar Bear lieing down on a pillow of snow, and all around the poor guy was nothing but dry earth!!! There the ones, we need to try to rescue, from all of this Global Warming, or else, the Generation born today, wont even know what a Penguin, or a Polar Bear is, when their old enough to understand!!! Its just so SAD!!!!

Answer 2

hurricane Camille was a small, but super intense cyclone. ... Hurricane Camille remains the strongest tropical cyclone to ever enter the United States, Camille went ashore near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi .Although Camille hit an area that had a relatively small population by today's standards, the region was sufficiently built-up enough to provide a first hand lesson of what a hurricane of maximum intensity is capable of. One thing remains as true today, as it was 34 years ago after the storm hit: Hurricane Camille is the most intense storm of any kind to ever strike mainland America in modern history
To put Hurricane Camille in scientific perspective, the storm represents bad luck - more than any meteorological extreme. Although rare, several other category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic, and supertyphoons in the Pacific, have been as intense. The big difference however, was Camille made landfall when at this rare intensity. The resulting property damage was so complete, that sections of the Mississippi coast seemed to vanish.
Camille was detected by satellite on August 14, 1969, as a tropical disturbance moving west in the Caribbean Sea. Early on the 15th, Camille became a strengthening hurricane while located off the western tip of Cuba. Crossing Cuba late on the 15th, Camille emerged in the southern Gulf of Mexico with 100 mph winds. By mid day on the 16th, reports from reconnaissance aircraft indicated that the storm had now slowed, but was intensifying, sustained winds had now reached 115 mph. By early evening, Camille was barely moving, but was intensifying rapidly with winds near 150 mph.

During this time, millions of Gulf coast residents snapped to attention. Camille was now among the strongest hurricanes ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico. Not since 1947, had a storm of this intensity threatened the central Gulf. By late in the afternoon on the 16th, an estimated 200,000 persons fled the central Gulf coast, while 50 civil defense shelters were opened. Near midnight on the 16th, hurricane warnings covered the entire middle Gulf coast. It was now estimated that Camille would strike near the mouth of the Mississippi River and it did causing total carnage I'm sorry to say, not a good memorie from the year I was born!

Just thought I would add this brief statement, and the source. It was a bad storm, and I being from Mississippi know full well the impacts of Camille and Katrina. I copied some of the information I found on the exact track of Camille. I hope the link helps you find your answers...

A tropical wave left the coast of Africa on August 5, becoming a tropical disturbance on August 9, 480 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Aircraft reconnaissance identified a closed circulation in the disturbance on the 14th near Grand Cayman and the system was designated Tropical Storm Camille with 60 mph (95 km/h) winds.

Answer 4

Excellent question. Camille was a category 5 hurricane that originated in the eastern Atlantic ocean off the west coast of Africa. It eventually moved into the gulf of Mexico and landed at Biloxi Mississippi in 1969. It was the second of three category 5 storms to hit the US during the 20th century.

Answer 5

Actually Camille made landfall in Bay St. Louis Ms not Biloxi Ms if you knew your Hurricane History you would have known this go to weatherunderground.com and find hurricane archives and look for year 1969 and camille is a retired name...

Answer 6

Really???? Well, the National Hurricane Center says that Camille originated 480 miles south of Miami.
