The pictures that I have seen of the Biloxi-Gulfport Casino strand show very vast devestation. Beau Rivage Hotel on its twenty to twenty-five foot mound still stands but I understand that they took water to the second floor. The McDonalds down the highway is slab, columns and mansard roof with no walls or contents remaining. But some people only a few block inland are in better shape. Downtown Gulfport was flooded but the structures are standing.

I suspect we'll eventually see official confirmation of a surge, or surge plus waves, in excess of 40 feet in the area of the Beau Rivage Casino.
