I think it was the Grand in Biloxi. From what I read it is destroyed.

If you notice, I do about 50 at a time about every 5 days or so. That day is likely to be Wednesday.

Sounds bad, really bad.

i keep hearing them say on CNN that the casinos were floating and therefore dangerous.

i remember when i worked at the grand in biloxi we used to "sink" the barge the few feet to the bottom. now i see that the report says the casino is across hwy 90.

did they stop sinking them for hurricanes, or was the surge that powerful?

finally, i have 2 friends that live(d) in quiet water apartment complex and they said they were getting out on saturday. they were moving to jackson and i can't get them on phone to make sure they left. is there any cell service yet?

30 foot surge supposedly. That would take it right up and off its pilings... The Grande didnt look like a barge like all the other crappy casinos up there.....shoot in the picture that huge parking garage right north of the casino is nowhere to be seen! The barge is now sitting acroos the street on what was a 2/3 story parking garage.. Just last summer late in 2004 I escaped twiceup to Biloxi to get away from hurricaines heading to southcentral florida. The whole area is only a few feet above sea level. I went to the Biloxi SeaFood festival -great grub and blues at point cadet --they say many people died in this area ..it's between the gulf and the back bay..really sad..This will take two or three years for Biloxi to rebuilt and it will never be the same-hurricanes wipe away trees and other landmarks for good and the feeling of a place . I wonder how the Biloxi Natatorium fared-its about 4 blocks off the beach-great place to swim..

when i heard last night that a casino had broken and floated, i would have bet my last dollar it was treasure bay. they must have dragged that somewhere, no?

and you are right GG, this will be horrible for the biloxi/gulfport market and quality of life there.

such a disaster.
