Wind whips through Gulfport, Mississippi, where a boat washed onto Highway 80. (CNN)"To the east, Katrina was hammering Biloxi, Gulfport and other communities along Mississippi's Gulf of Mexico beaches, where CNN correspondent Gary Tuchman reported from Gulfport that the storm was "dismantling" the area.
"There is intense damage," Tuchman said. "We are watching the dismantling of a beautiful town.". . . . "We are watching these building deteriorate and break down before our eyes," Tuchman said. "Because the water is so deep, boats are floating up the street. There is extensive damage here. This is essentially right now like hell on earth."
Authorities in Gulfport told CNN that 10 feet of water cover downtown streets. "
editorial opinion: Have a feeling that the Tuchman has underestimated hell, though I understand that he is saying it is *very* bad.
(Yahoo news)""This is a devastating hit — we've got boats that have gone into buildings," Gulfport, Miss., Fire Chief Pat Sullivan said as he maneuvered around downed trees in the city. "What you're looking at is Camille II." "
