Interesting Facts - “Goodbye” is actually a contraction of the phrase “God be with ye,” and started popping up around the 1570s (spelled “godbwye”).

NBC- Cameron, Louisiana, is a shadow of its former self. Over 90% of residents have left, tired of rebuilding homes washed away every few years by hurricanes, and bereft of jobs that would pay them the money to do so. The only economic prospect on the horizon is a natural gas complex, though its fate is uncertain under the Biden administration. Even if its planned expansion were to come online, the methane it would spew would likely further contribute to climate change, fueling hurricanes that are strengthening faster than ever before.
