Church Destroyed by Hurricane

(Original Caption) The shell of what was once a church stands broken August 18 after being split in two by the scythe -like winds of hurricane Cammille. The storm, the worst in American history, ripped through this Gulf port city with unladylike savagery and proceeded on her way up the Mississippi Delta Region, causing at least 141 deaths and rendering thousands of persons homeless.
