Casino Loss, Lake Charles LA:  Mr. White made post loss inspections of facility that included 2 casino vessels, 100,000 Sft. floating entertainment facility, parking garage, and a full-service Hotel. This facility experienced a significant event in which the entire entertainment facility and the 2 casinos were washed inland by the storm surge of Hurricane Rita. The majority of the facility was a total loss. Mr. White arranged a team of consultants from various disciplines to fully quantify the entire facility including the Marine elements.
