Mike, I don't think we can compare the aftermath of Camille to Matthew. Hurricane Camille came ashore with sustained 175 mph winds pushing a 24' storm surge. Multi story buildings and many lives were lost. Here are a couple of links.

The company I was with at the time was very instrumental in reacting to the thousands of homes completely destroyed by Camille. We had a cadre of people on the ground writing orders to speed the delivery of building materials. The areas damaged by the storm were prioritized to take precedence over orders to all other parts of the country. It was one of the saddest things I have ever witnessed.
