It is located in Jefferson Parish, LA, just west of Grand Isle, and a hurricane and giant tidal wave there killed 2,000 people in "Louisiana's greatest natural disaster." (I hope that the oil spill will not become another!) I have a small book published in 1981 by Dale P. Rogers from Thibodaux, LA, called Cheniere Caminada: Buried at Sea.
