I am wondering if anyone has any news about 3 areas in particular that, it seems to me, are most at risk of catastrophic damage and loss of life (and coincidentally happen to have been wonderful places): Grande Isle LA, Pass Christian MS and Bay St. Louis MS. The news reports constantly refer to Biloxi, but these two MS locations were closer to the eye and the eye probably passed right over Grande Isle when at it's strongest on land. I fear they could have been nearly wiped out. Anyone know?




I hate to think of the possible damage in Grand Isle.
I don't know about Pass Christian.

A reporter getting back to Mobile said that when she got to the Bay St. Louis exit on I-10, it was closed. She said the flooding there was Unreal. She had a video clip of that area...the water was almost all the way up to the top of the Red Light which she said is over 10 feet high. It basically looked like a lake right off of I-10.

That is all I've heard/seen.
