History
In 1957, Cameron was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Audrey. A storm surge of 12 feet (3.7 m) and winds of 125 miles per hour (201 km/h) caused the deaths of more than 300 residents of the town.[3]
Nearly fifty years later, in late September 2005, Hurricane Rita hit Cameron. A 15-foot (4.6 m) storm surge and winds of 120 miles per hour (190 km/h) destroyed much of the town. Everyone had evacuated beforehand.[4]
On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike leveled Cameron with a 12-foot (3.7 m) storm surge just as the town was recovering from Rita in 2005.[5] Ike destroyed more than 90 percent of the homes in the parish seat and caused catastrophic flooding in every part of the parish.
A 2010 report on the damage sustained from the effects of Rita and Ike stated that few people returned to the town to rebuild after the hurricanes, due to stricter building codes and high insurance costs that increased the cost of living dramatically. None of the stores have been rebuilt; only a gas station, bank, post office, and a restaurant remain (the latter two of which are still housed in trailers). Most of the residents still live in mobile homes. The First Baptist Church in the community was rebuilt in 2010.

Which means it will be wiped clean. Again.
Agree anon. But it is what it is. Most of southern Louisiana is swamp and, of course, very low elevation above sea level. You have to accept the hazards of the environment that you choose to live in. The Mississippi River Delta is really a fascinating piece of river silt. And very large. Another interesting thing about the state. I'm in DFW and an hour ago I went outside and looked at the sky. Broken clouds drifting slowly NE. Went out again just now. Broken clouds moving quickly to the SW. Looks like I have new neighbor. At least I'm 600 plus feet above sea level, kek. May God Bless and Protect those in harm's way tonight. And may they know that they are in my prayers. Amen.
Jim Cantore now doing what he does best.
Please stay safe anon. Prayers. My family has friends down there too.
I'd rather get pelted with flying objects than drown. It's all relative and academic at this point. Praying for everyone regardless of elevation above sea level.
Don't forget the maple syrup. kek

I'll give you this anon.
It was the Louisiana purchase.
Your shit don't translate, sorry. Unintelligible.
You're probably right anon. But hopefully the people who lived there will go on and have good lives. I realize that seems like a pretty tall order given the current state of affairs. But yeah, I hope so anyway.
Rollin' for 16 posts total.
Got to agree anon.
