In 1969, Hurricane Camille hit my three-store blocks of flats near the Gulf of Mexico. First, the sea hit the building and all the windows broke. Then the rooms flooded. Five minutes later, my bed was floating near the ceiling. Then it floated out of the window. It was dark and the wind was howling. I was terrified. The building was falling down all around me. The wind was awful. It reached a speed of 234 miles per hour. I was cut and bleeding from head to toe. Finally, someone found me 8 km from my house and they took me to hospital.
