The place where Jim Cantore stayed?

Did it make it out ok? Alot of damage?

I think there was water damage on the lower level(it was some type of coliseum for veterans), but I think the structure survived.

They evacuated everyone to the Veterans Home in the Washington, DC area. They don't know yet if it is repairable, last I heard.

I thought it was the "Mississippi Coast Colisium"
Speaking of Jim Cantore..has anyone seen him on the Weather Channel since the storm hit? I don't recall seeing him but then again I don't watch the weather channel that often, Only if we get threatened by a tropical force of nature. I try to catch the tropical update to see what is out in the tropics.

I'll verify that report. My friends dad lives there, and she heard from her family that this was the case. The first floor was flooded, but the structure is intact.

A friend of mine met Jim Cantore yesterday in Gulfport/Biloxi --- he's fine. I remember his report about moving to the Veterans home prior to the storm. It was built to withstand very strong storms -- even the windows --- It sure was lucky he was there.

Jim was live on TWC late last nite. He and crew took shelter in that veteran's helped move the people to the second floor as the water was coming in the building.

Stephaine Abrams was there to pick him up since his truck/car was lost in the surge.

I'm not sure, but I believe that Jim could have gotten out of there but stayed to help move the veterans upstairs to safety.
