Abstract
The wind speeds in hurricane Camille are evaluated to provide a structural engineering interpretation. These are compared to published design winds for the area. Similar evaluation is made of the storm surge heights. A new method of probability analysis is applied to the historical surge data for Beloxi. Surveys of these storm and surge damage are considered with reference to actual wind speeds and design values in various parts of the storm area.
