Katrina Update

By | August 30, 2005

Updates from friends:

  • Most houses and buildings that were on Hwy. 90 in Biloxi are gone, such as the Dantzler House and Church of the Redeemer
  • President Casino at the Broadwater is only a barge, and it’s sitting in the parking lot of the Coliseum down the road

Update: The President casino mostly survived, at least as a building, but it is now sitting on top of the front part of the Holiday Inn next to the Coliseum. Given the size of these casino barges and how far they were driven up on land, I don’t know how they can possibly be saved. Even if they could somehow be dragged back to the water, I suspect the barges suffered so much damage that they might not even float anymore.
