It's going to be real bad for the economy of MS because almost all of southern MS (Biloxi) was built on Casino revenue, etc. So they'll be crippled until they get rebuilt.

I heard the mayor talk about how all the coastal casinos are virtually sitting on huge barges, as required by the city when the first approved them. Could you imagine one of those casinos floating away? :bigeyes:

I am praying for the health of all the people in it's path.

Some cigar board longtimers Big O and TommyBB and cubano67 have headed for higher ground. Keep them in your thoughts.

I bet little old ladies would sit in those casino's through a hurricane playing nickel slots if they let them.

Good luck to all those in the path.

This is going to affect the entire US economy ... not only for the millions in damage to local cities, but damage to refineries and off shore oil rigs. Get ready for a big price spike at the pump next week.

My prayers out to those affected. Hopefully there will be no loss of life since the preparation time was significant.

Anyone have his phone #? I"m sure he's fine, but you never know, and I"m sure he would appreciate the calls, regardless.
