Hurricane Camille occurred in 1969 and caused catastrophic damage and a high number of fatalities. It made landfall twice, first in Mississippi and then in Virginia. It did not dissipate over the southern states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, but rather merged with a mid-latitude cyclone, creating a powerful hybrid storm that continued to cause damage as it moved northward.
