Camille was downgraded to 175 mph at reanalysis. I'll leave that decision to the experts,but i'm not fully convinced. The weather channel did a storm story documentary on Camille.
It was about 3 reporters from Jackson Ms. who checked into the Beuna vista hotel to report on the storm. If allowed I will post the youtube link. The following morning, they traveled to
Gulfport to see a ship deposited un Hwy 90, They climbed aboard and discovered all crewmen alive. The ships captain allowed them to photograph the log. The anemometer broke at
200 Kts ( 230 Mph ) . That was obviously a gust,but it showed just how powerful this storm was.
