Biloxi Getting Pounded Right now 2:30 am CDT

Just came back from the beach... Gee I had to walk across the street... (nearly arrested by Biloxi's finest)

This is the highest tide I've seen in Biloxi since Camille.... Gulf water was at the sea wall in front of my house approaching the second step... (three total).... I've never seen it hit the second step... may get into HWY 90 before its done... I guarantee that there are many areas of HWY 90 in MS under water right now.... along with a plethora of businesses....this has to be at least 8 feet above sea level... maybe 9

Large sections of piers were floating everywhere hitting the seawall... probably from casinos.. street lights still on, what an unbelievable sight....

Treasure Bay Casino broken loose from morings... being held in check with cables

Large section of East end of Biloxi under water... mandatory evacuations.

Even Elena with her 100+ winds DID NOT PUT TIDE THIS HIGH AT SEAWALL AT MY HOUSE....((first step)

This storm is going to do much greater damage than was anticipated....

Winds have to be 50+ with gusts to 60....

Going back to the beach..... will post an update if I return.. hehe and still have power....
