Two weeping young women carry salvaged belongings as they gingerly walk across a mass of twisted and splintered wood that once was their homes here 8/18 afternoon. In the wake of hurricane Camille's 190mph winds, these women are among the estimated 200,000 persons left homeless. The death toll has risen to 106 persons. Fifty bodies were recovered in Pass Christian, Miss.
