This does not look good at all. When a place gets hard hit it takes a while to find it out and we are hearing almost nothing about MS coast. We are hearing reports from New Orleans and there are problems but they dodged "The Big One." Prayers for everyone in MS. We have some FReepers in the area in question. Sure would be nice to hear from somebody there.

MSNBC reporter reporting from Biloxi says it was probably a stupid mistake to leave the hotel. Massive amounts of debris. A boat in a gas station 2 miles away from the coast, etc.

Water is 6' or 7' ft high two miles inland.

Looks like Ms. and Alabama got the brunt or the storm surge.

Is this even possible? 2 miles?

What about the barges that the casinos are build upon, there was conciderable worry about those breaking loose.

MSNBC can't be right. Biloxi's on a peninsula that's not even 2 miles wide in most places.

Reports from Gulfport seem to support that the storm surge there was at least 27', maybe 30'.
