- Hurricane Audrey smashed ashore at Cameron, LA, drowning 390 persons
in the storm tide, and causing 150 million dollars damage in Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi. Audrey left only a brick courthouse and a
cement-block icehouse standing at Cameron, and when the waters settled
in the town of Crede, only four buildings remained. The powerful winds
of Audrey tossed a fishing boat weighing 78 tons onto an off-shore
drilling platform. Winds along the coast gusted to 105 mph, and oil rigs
off the Louisiana coast reported wind gusts to 180 mph. A storm surge
greater than twelve feet inundated the Louisiana coast as much as 25
miles inland. It was the deadliest June hurricane of record for the U.S.
