#5 VERY dependent. Something like $500,000/day in State tax revenues! I've been down there several times in the last few years for work (that dreaded, evil EPA), and it's completely eerie to me to see those casinos/hotels I've stayed in being tossed around like that. Watch the Hancock County side, I have a bad feeling it's gonna be worse. A lot more rural, but it's where the eye came over and they haven't even gotten in there yet. Coming from N.O., US 90 crosses water 3 times in Miss. (at Bay St. Louis, at Pass Christian, and then the Biloxi/Ocean Springs bridge). I've seen pics today and all 3 are gone. I don't know how you get in there, except the Interstate that connects I-10 w/ US 90 in Biloxi at the Beau Rivage, basically (I believe it's called I-110????). Even that road crosses the "back bay" of Biloxi, but the bridge there is a lot higher, so it's proabably passable.
