This is part of the fifty dead in Harrison Country, according to CNN. They don't know whether the other twenty come from Gulfport or Biloxi, although the AP earlier said all 50 came from Biloxi. Conflicting reports are abound right now.

Yes I heard that also and it is in addition to the 55 reported previously!! I prayto God that we do not continue to hear these reports.

Having been through Camille and her aftermath and having seen some of the video coming in I am sickened at what we may hear tomorrow once they can get into some of the areas to the West of Gulfport.

Apparently, the 30 who died in Biloxi died at an apartment complex.

I'm a tv reporter.. in these situations info or news come and go. Is a slow process of confirmation because of the problems with power, roads, telephones, access..

The Richeleu Apartment story was fake.

Not to get off topic or anything - the 30 (and/or 50) deaths in Biloxi are tragic. But the Richeleu Apartment story WAS fake. Falsified by a woman resident at the apartment complex. In fact, only eight people in the complex died (still very tragic in itself).

The hurricane party at Richeleu is an urban myth!? I had no idea.
