The 1969 Atlantic hurricane season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially started June 1, 1969, and lasted until November 30, 1969.The 1969 season was relatively active, but most of the storms were of minimal strength or stayed at sea. The major exception to this was Hurricane Camille. Camille was, and still is, the second-strongest storm ever to make landfall in the United States. Camille made landfall near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi as a Category 5 storm, one of only three storms on record as having done so in the US. Official estimates place the death toll due to Camille at 256, with $1.4 billion ($7 billion in 2000 dollars) in property damage.
Other notable storms include Hurricane Francelia, which caused serious flooding in Belize; and Hurricane Martha, which caused flooding and landslides in Costa Rica and Panama.
