Night of Terror: Hurricane Camille hits Nelson County
August 19, 1969 is a day that many people in Nelson County, Virginia remember very well. Camille was a Category 5 hurricane when it hit land, and although it was no longer a hurricane when it passed over Nelson County, Virginia, it was still a storm with a devastating amount of rain and wind. The storm dropped between 12 and 27 inches of rain (depending on where in the county) in a 5 hour period and stalled over the county causing flooding, and landslides. Heather D. Branch interviewed four people who lived through and remember very well the storm and its aftermath.
