Camille Part 2?

I'm listening to the news and it's sounding more and more like the hardest hit areas are once again the Biloxi/Gulfport area. This was the same area that was hammered in 1969 by Camille. To give some perspective on that (and why everyone compares the two), you could still see scaring from Camille in 1984.

Now, I have to say I'm not going to shed a tear at the loss of the casinos. Out of all the places in the United States to have gambling, Mississippi was the last place I would have expected to see it. I know that there is some history with the riverboat gambling. It still had me scratching my head at it's appearance there however. I will not stand on a soap box and preach the evils of gambling. I think that if you want to gamble away your life, be my guest. I was surprised to see it in my home state.

I don't think trying to call my friends and family in Jones County will do any good, as I doubt that there are phone lines, nor power available. I will keep them in my prayers, and try to contact them tomorrow.
