ToucanJim,
The newsroom is on DeBuys, a few streets west of Maison D'Orleans. Earlier today, we tried to get on Highway 90, the coastal road. We were not able or allowed to get on it. In many places, that road has been completely destroyed.
I didn't see the Maison personally, but if it looks like any of the structures anywhere near the coast, it has either been significantly damaged or destroyed. The surge that came up the beach was said to be at around 30 ft. The day before, a mandatory evacuation was ordered. Hopefully, an officer got to his apartment.
I hope your father got out to a shelter. My thoughts are with you.

Thank you so very much for your blog, but PLEASE stay safe!
And PLEASE, if you can, ANY news on Maison D'Orleans would be GREATLY appreciated! May God be with us all! We're barely seeing any news on Gulfport/Biloxi let alone that area of town.

My mother lives just off palmer dr. which is off debuys. Anyone have any info of this area? I have a trailer just off Debuys as well. It's on the right side across from the turn off for palmer dr. It's the blue one facing debuys. Anyone who has info on any of this please let me know. (i'm in japan and can't get back to the states)
Thanks.
