When I located the Hurricane Rita monument, I was shocked to read the inscription:
While miraculously no one in Cameron Parish was killed, 38 of it's40 cemeteries were breached and over 340 caskets and their remains were torn from the ground and scattered into marshes, tree tops, fields and canals from as far as 30 miles away.
This monument represents some of the most treasured possessions of Cameron parish.
It has been a long journey for them, their families, and those that recovered them.
May they again rest in peace.
God Bless their families.

This one was shocking to me too. You think you have read and heard all about these events. Then you see this and wonder if you forgot about a portion or these details....
