The worst one I remember was Audrey in 1957. Obviously we didn't have the technology & warnings back then that we have today. It intensified very quickly and snuck up on Cameron. Most of the residents ignored warnings to leave and as a result over 400 were killed. I remember the intense rain and lack of power like it was yesterday.
Dad talks about that one often...I think the only building in Cameron that survived was the court house

I remember hearing months after the storm that numerous bodies still hadn't been recovered. Given the water and marshes surrounding Cameron that's easy to believe.
I like earthquakes, up to a point. Extreme heat and humidity with no power would suck,.. I was thinking more along the lines of, a nice hotel with a good view.
The really strange thing about hurricanes, in my experience, is that in the immediate aftermath the weather is fantastic. You get a nasty storm blow through in the hottest part of September, and for about 3 days after its passed, you couldn't ask for nicer weather.
