President Casino Barge after it was washed ashore by Hurricane Katrina, 2005 Less than a month later, on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina tore the casino barge from its moorings and washed it ashore ½ mile west of the Broadwater Resort Marina. The barge was a total loss, it was cut up as scrap and removed by a salvage company. Isle of Capri general manager Bill Kilduff said the casino had been building a larger casino barge on Biloxi’s Back Bay when Katrina hit. The existing casino and most of its 1,152 slot machines were destroyed, as was the under-construction barge. Gambling companies are beginning to tally the damage to New Orleans other U.S. Gulf Coast casinos. Hurricane Katrina picked up several Gulf Coast casinos and hurled them hundreds of yards inland.

In Charles L. Sullivan latest work, ’Beauvoir: Katrina Plus Ten,’ a souvenir edition of 1,000 numbered copies now on sale at the historic last home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, the author compares Hurricanes Camille and Katrina and surmises the Saffir-Simpson Scale took its own blows from the latter storm.
This is Sullivan’s account:
’When Katrina struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast Panhandle (the six southern counties), it contained 171,000 homes. Katrina destroyed 65,000 of these, inflicted major damage on 35,000 more, and dealt minor damage to 51,300 homes. Only 16,000 homes in the Panhandle escaped damage. So, more than one third of South Mississippi’s dwellings were destroyed, and nearly three fourths were uninhabitable.
’Katrina destroyed an additional 3,500 homes in the 150 miles of Mississippi north of the Coast. In Katrina’s wake 85 percent of the lights in the entire state were out for a time. Katrina’s disaster zone totaled 28,000 square miles across four states. In contrast, Camille destroyed ’only’ 5,662 homes and utterly destroyed a ’paltry’ 68 square miles primarily from Pass Christian to the east along a ’mere’ 30-mile front. Camille killed at least 375 people, 172 of whom were Mississippians.
’Never did anyone who lived through Camille even dream that any hurricane could be worse. That belief cost some people their lives. As Biloxi Mayor A. J. Holloway said the day after Katrina, ’It looks like Hurricane Camille killed a lot more people yesterday than it did in 1969.’Hurricane Katrina Casino Barge Images
’After the next horror, someone will say, ’It looks like Katrina killed a lot more people yesterday than it did in 2005.’ Katrina killed at least 1,300 among which were 228 known Mississippians.
’It could be that the Saffir-Simpson Scale killed some of the people who died in Katrina. Poker night aa meeting houston texas.
’Herbert Saffir, a structural engineer, began working on his hurricane winds damage scale in 1969. In 1972, he met Robert H. Simpson, the first Director of the National Hurricane Center. Simpson added measurements for flooding and storm surge to the portion developed by Saffir, and the Saffir-Simpson Scale was born.
’First used in hurricane advisories in 1975, the scale has become to hurricanes what the Richter Scale is to earthquakes. The Saffir-Simpson Scale fitted Camille perfectly and, indeed, was modeled on that storm to a degree. Everyone understood when a small and compact Cat 5, (190-mph Camille) battered Pass Christian with a 30-foot surge. As was expected the surge lessened as one went to the east with Pascagoula experiencing perhaps eight feet from Camille.
’But, Katrina defied comprehension.
’Huge Katrina, though a 175-mph Cat 5 the day before landfall, struck Buras, La., as a Cat 4 and was only a Cat 3 when it struck Pearlington. Yet it swept the Mississippi Gulf Coast with a Cat 5 surge ranging from more than 30 feet on the shores of the Bay of St. Louis down to a horrendous twenty feet at Pascagoula at the other end of the Coast.
’According to the Saffir-Simpson Scale, the Bay of St. Louis should have gotten nine to twelve feet of surge and Pascagoula barely a ripple. Herbert Saffir, aged 88 when he visited the Coast in November 2005, was asked to comment on the seeming incongruity of a Cat 3 throwing a Cat 5 surge. He said that when Katrina was a Cat 5 over the open Gulf of Mexico, it pushed forth a Cat 5 surge wave. Then when the storm degraded first to a Cat 4 and then to a Cat 3, those winds were sufficient to keep the Cat 5 surge moving.Hurricane Katrina Casino Barge Official Site
’It would appear that the Saffir-Simpson Scale does not take into account the elements that accounted for the devastation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Katrina--previous high category surge, size of the storm, and local topography.
’Katrina not only destroyed the Mississippi Gulf Coast, it also, in effect, destroyed the Saffir-Simpson Scale.’Hurricane Katrina Casino Barge Reservations
