Pressure 29.19mb, winds ~45-50 mph at 9:30

Tide has gone down at least 2 -3 feet since high tide at 1:30 am.

Treasure Bay Casino suffered considerable damage... both main access entrance piers gone..

MS Coast Colliseum pier ~300 ft... gone... Colliseum is one mile from my house to the east... about 150 ft of the pier (in broken up sections about 10-15 feet in length) is lying next to the sea wall right in front of my house... I sat in my lawn chair in my front yard at edge of HWY 90 during the height of the tidal surge and watched large sections of the pier smashing into one another in the surf... quite a sight .... we have not gotten much rain at my house since early this morning, just wind and high tides...

Had this system been delayed another 24 hours it could have been a whole lot worse.... I'm sure for many, esp in NO it was bad enough.... most of the many rivers in the area are all expected to crest sometime tomorrow well above flood stage (4-6 feet)
