24. I'm quite familiar with highway 90, thanks.

Jim Cantore of the weather channel is at the retired vets' home in Gulfport, which is 27 feet above sea level. They're evacuating residents to upper floors because the first floor is flooding.

90 always floods a little during hurricanes--this storm surge is much more than that.

It's far too early to say whether this one was better or worse than Ivan--nobody's seen the pictures yet, and there are many, many small communities along the LA/MS state line that are likely decimated. My parents live in Pensacola (and I used to live there as well), so I have more than a passing familiarity and interest in this.
