Unbelievable...they need someone to take charge and make things happen. These guys are placing all their eggs in the superdomwe...but its going to fill rapidly.

Foxnews report a bit earlier said some 100,000 residents are 'city dwellers'. Meaning -- they don't even own vehicles, so they have to depend on public transportation. Those are the one who only have city shelters as an option.

Can the Superdome hold 100k plus all those who didn't get on the highways in time?

And why haven't they reversed 'incoming' lanes to allow outflow of traffic?????

They opened the contraflow lanes at 4PM yesterday. You just can't see it from those video cam views.

There's the Superdome which can hold 100k but it is only rated for winds on 150 mph. However, in New Orleans the Wind is not the Issue, but instead the water. Right now I am in my house in Texas with a dozen relatives. Some of us will lose our houses, we may lose the entire city.
