Some background: Harrison County is home to the shore towns of Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach and Pass Christian. These are probably some of the hardest-hit areas. Population: 192,393 (
2004 Census Estimate).
We've heard very little about what's going on across the Bay St. Louis in Hancock County, MS. Population: 45,933 (
2004 Census Estimate) It's probably impossible to get there from Biloxi/Gulfport and New Orleans.
