Here are some pictures from Biloxi. These are of the casino damage, because that's easily identifiable for the newscameras.
The first is of the President Casino. This formerly resided in the gulf, and now smashed a Holiday Inn across Hwy 90.

The second is of the yet-to-be-opened Hard Rock Cafe Casino. The white building to the left of the now demolished casino barge is the hotel - the parking garage is on the right. The guitar in front is still standing.

The bridge remains are of Hwy 90 going to Ocean Springs. This bridge crosses the Bay of Biloxi, and survived Hurricane Camille. I crossed it Friday afternoon when I went to my friend/boss carol's to spend the afternoon at her pool/Condo unit. her entire complex is now gone.

The sunken casino is the Palace - about 1/2 mile from my house - it sits right on the Bay of Biloxi.

The last picture is of the Grand Casino. the building sitting at an odd angle is the casino barge - where Max & I were on Friday night. You can see the remains of the hotels & walking catwalks crossing hwy 90. In the distance is Beau Rivage, which appears to have major parking garage and casino damage.

All of these casinos are in "my end" of town - less than a mile from my house. I saw on CNN that a neighborhood very near mine has had great destruction, as have many other neighborhoods.

I'll post more local/people pictures as I find them online.
