Actually that is not true.
Hurricane Camille had winds of 190 mph and a storm surge of 25 ft, Katrina had winds of 145 mph and a storm surge of about 25 ft too.
Those were measured at landfall. The reason why there is much more destruction is quite simple, it is called urbanization.
When Camille hit there were not that many people living on the coast.

Oh, and the BBC would report that Barney the Dinosaur is real if that could embarass the US in any ways. The BBC is as biased and anti-US as FOX News has its nose up the Republican Party's ass
