Few people who saw the 50-foot tidal wave lived to tell, but those that did never forgot it. Indeed, the events surrounding Hurricane Audrey were so horrific that for over 30 years most of the survivors found it too painful to speak of their ordeal, until now.
At dawn on June 27, 1957, the hurricane slammed into the sleeping Gulf Coast 12 hours ahead of its predicted landfall. Residents were poised to evacuate, but the early arrival of this category-4 storm resulted in a massive death toll of more than 525 people—almost 200 of them children.
