And not a word about Pass Christian. Or Waveland.

Yes. Didn't mean to neglect anyone. These Fox idiots are too interested in watching replays of themselves where they are the story. The big story is in the areas about which we know nothing.

No, it is just that they can't get into PC and Waveland. Debris blocked and flooded out roads. Haley Barbor just said that there are lots of places down there that even emergency officials haven't been able to get into.

The reason you hear less about Pass Christian, Waveland, Gulfport and similar areas is that the major news outlets concentrated their resources in New Orleans thinking the worst damage would be there. The Gulfport-Biloxi TV market isn't that large - there are only 3 TV stations, which are small and have limited resources, like live trucks. FOX News has Steve Harrigan in Gulfport, and the Weather Channel's Jim Cantore was in the middle of the storm there (as usual - if he comes to your town during hurricane season RUN!).

The FOX affiliate, WXXV's website is down. The ABC affliate, WLOX, evacuated their station due to their storm. There's some information on the Biloxi newspaper's website, http://www.sunherald.com.

The most recent dispatch from WLOX TV in Biloxi:

Hurricane Katrina Update
WLOX on duty staff would like to inform all visitors to WLOX.com that they are safe despite serious damage to the physical facilities.
Updates of storm coverage are being supplied by WLOX's sister stations.

In all fairness, they only had so many of their crew out. They had to pick a spot and they can't go out much further than anyone else is allowed. They're trying.
