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.

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.

Familiar landmarks destroyed


At DeBuys Road at U.S. 90., the Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants were obliterated.
In Biloxi at Edgewater Village, most of that shopping strip mall was devastated. The McDonald's is gone, the Village Sports Pub is gone.

The Hard Rock Casino on Casino Row in Biloxi, which was scheduled to open next week, will have to be rebuilt. The superstructure was severely damaged.

There have been reports that there are several casino barges that were pulled out of water and onto land.

We should all pray for the residents of South Mississippi (and Louisiana, Alabama and Florida panhandle). The area around St. Louis Bay likely took the most direct hit. Hopefully, people moved inland or to higher ground (which there is more of in Bay St. Louis than New Orleans, according to Google Earth).
