The Superdome environment is going to get ugly.
In a worse case scenario, if there is wide spread flooding in New Orleans that lasts days or even a week, and if they have 40,000 people stuck in the Superdome with nowhere to go, just exactly where do they expect all the sewage to go ??
I am assuming that the sanitary sewers will be knocked out by high water. 40,000 people can't hold it forever. If sewage seeps into the water or backs up, combined with the warm weather, we could be looking at outbreaks of sickness occuring very soon.
Putting 10,000 people in one place even on a normal day causes tremendous logistical problems. I can't imagine what it would be like to have 40,000 during a disaster. Why don't they have a plan to disburse these people and get them out of the area ?
