This is setting up to be another worse case scenario for the MS gulf coast.... if all this comes to fruition expect the total destruction of every casino on the MS coast, imagine the economic impact to MS..... I'm hoping for a continue more trend to the west... need another 50 miles west




Hate to burst your bubble, but the casinos are required to be built to withstand Cat 4 winds. Any that can't have to be moved into the interior bay (Back Bay). They will suffer serious damage, as will every structure likely, but they will not be totally destroyed.
50 miles further west would bring the inner core over new orleans. that's not a very positive thing either. -HF
