The water is still rising in N'Orleans and they expect it to get even worse before it gets better.
MSNBC has been showing video of all the floating casinos in Biloxi. They're huge buildings built on barges that of course broke free when the storm surge came and floated inland. They showed one casino-barge that came to rest on top of a several-story Holiday Inn and crushed it to the ground.
