"They are using the Superdome as a shelter for people"
And they have to frisk every single soul that walks in,so as to rule out possible terrorist attempts or the like.
Unreal

Im trying to understand why all those people waited so long to leave...You get plenty of warning, just need to use some sense and get the hell out. I would have left 2-3 days ago..

We have these stupid building codes on the coast here because of hurricanes, Tell me if this makes sense... We have to install what is called Storm Glass which is esentially bullet proof glass to withstand the winds, Now the best part is we have to use egress windows in the bedrooms which is a window a fireman can climb into with a full pack. Problem is he can no longer break the glass to get in so whats the sense. I talked to the idiots who created this code and explained to them that if a Hurricane comes I have a few days to get my family out and to a safe place but if there is an unexpected fire in the middle of the night the firemen cant save us because they cant get into the house...They couldnt give me an answer ..Politicians at their best..idiots..

probably because of the expense insurance companys incur replacing glass in all the structures hit by hurricanes. it appears the storm has taken a slight turn and New Orleans may not get the full brunt of it, my understanding the levys will hold back the surge!!! it may still bring extreme loss of property but not lives, Thank God.

news guy inside the Superdome just reported they are moving people around in there because there are now about 60 holes in the roof of the Superdome.

No. This is.
Sitting through a hurricane is like being in an 8 hour long train wreck.
Most of those folks in the Superdome won't have a home to go back to. Tragic loss for everyone.
