Re: Update

Hugh, I really doubt that they will or even can move the Casinos as they are sitting in the mud on in the MS sound.... most are designed to be frangible, the walls just tear out but the super structure remains intact so it can be rebuilt... ALL would suffer tremendous damage from the surge.... Georges put Grand and a few others in Biloxi out of business for weeks... this is NOT a Georges for us...

The Beaux is well built I admit... and would probably survive... perhaps I was a little hast to say all would be destroyed, but all would be out of commission for a very long time, however long it would take to totally rebuild them from the remaining structure... some may not rebuilt... I was here for Camille... you probably couldn't even get to a Casino for some time...hell who would want to... no power for weeks or months... Hey if were talking a strong Cat 4 or 5 this is going to devistate the Casino Industry for a long time, along with coast intrastruct as well... Camille destroyed the south bound lane on HWY 90 in many sections, I saw it first hand, I am a Cat 5 survivor... you just can't imagine

Will they all be destroyed no, you are right... but they might as well be...
