Camille satellite pics. We all know the ATS-III series from Aug 16, the classic Nimbus3 Aug 16, and the ESSA-8or9 shots from the afternoon of Aug 17 that any web search can find. Does anyone know of any other scans or have any quality pics from some of the other existing sources. There are quite a number of them but I have simply been completely unable to find them anywhere.
ATS-III on Aug 17 and others besides the same six we usually see on the 16th. I've seen loops that indicate that others exist.
Nimbus-3 on both the 17th and the 18th. I've seen them both in rough form so I know they exist.
ESSA-8 and/or9 whenever.
Also it would be interesting to see Camille in early stages as a tropical storm and small moderately intense hurricane under Cuba similar to what Floydbuster put together.
Can anyone help?
HurricaneBill,SouthernWx,Floydbuster, and all please

The satellite images already mentioned are the only ones I'm aware of....and probably the only ones available.
Hurricane Camille crossed over western Cuba at night....and made landfall along the Mississippi coast near midnight (EDT). Infrared (nighttime) satellite technology didn't exist until 1975. Thats why there aren't more images of Camille available....no satellite images were taken between sunset and sunrise in 1969.

If other Camille satellite images and loops exist, they are probably archived at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC.
Here their website..

Here's a pic of Camille as a tropical storm. This was after Camille had gone through the U.S. and re-entered the Atlantic.
Along with Camille is Hurricane Debbie. Debbie was famous for being seeded during Project Stormfury.
It seemed like Debbie weakened after being seeded but she'd quickly reintensify. At one point, Debbie appeared to have two eyes. I wonder if Debbie was actually undergoing eyewall replacement cycles rather than weakening because of the seedings.
In this pic, Debbie was around her Category 3 peak.
