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.

Okay. I hope you are right. I also understand the market is small. But there are lots of small markets that have checked in where they got hit pretty hard. In southern MS even the governor, apparently, is getting little info. I'm praying.
