MSNBC showed video a few minutes ago of the Grand, Copa and President.
The President Casino was ripped from its moorings and floated inland.
It ended up resting next to a Holiday Inn, quite a ways from the
coast.
All the best to list members from this area. We're thinking of you.

The latest from the Sun Herald:
"A revitalized and growing Mississippi Coast had even more to lose.
In Biloxi, the mayor said, the storm's surge put at least five
casinos out of commission.
Grand Casino Biloxi washed across U.S. 90. Treasure Bay's pirate ship
was beached. Beau Rivage still stood, while Hard Rock Casino --
scheduled to open in early September - was half destroyed.
Hard Rock's signature guitar, touted as the world's largest, survived
the lashing.
In Gulfport, the Copa Casino barge sat on land next to the Grand
Casino parking garage. The western Grand Casino barge, containing
Kid's Quest, was swept around the west side of the hotel and now
blocks U.S. 90."
