That is just west of Winnie. The exit to bypass I-10 is one exit away from those highway signs.

The prop business is probably going to be on the upswing when everyone gets back to normal.

Yeah. People routinely overestimate the height of waves when they're in them. 3-4 foot seas are no joke in a boat like that.

It's an incredible video, but he's way off on those seas.

HWY 90 in South MS had a lot of road that was totally fine after 20 feet of water with loose Casino barges passed over them during Katrina.


Sure it had spots that were fine, but there were large missing pieces and buckled sections throughout.

I'm not saying there won't be a lot of work.

I'm just stating that the vast majority of roads situated flush with land could be driven on as long as they were free of debris. Bridges were obviously fubar and you had to drive around some sinkholes here and there.

So I'd flip your sentence, large areas were fine but some spots were missing.

In the background of the water picture shows a bridge in the background that is not in the photo to the left. This is not real.

A lot of Hwy 90 in Biloxi to BSL was literally gone. I was there right afterwards. But it was a strong storm surge not just sitting water or with some current.

We're screwed when video shopping gets realistic.
