Believe it or not, they do have some plans for this scenario. Once the storms are over they can evacuate the dome by boat, if the bowl is filled. Could also bring in a pontoon bridge to get the people out to the higher roadways, levees, and other buildings while waiting to finish the post-storm evacuations. But probably won't be necessary, because the dome is already on some of the highest ground in the area, and holes could be punched through the levees to drain off some of the water. Not all of the city is below sea level.

WWL and state police begging people to use I-10 east; contraflow in effect, shoulders open to provide two additional lanes.

During the presser, I believe the mayor said they had 43 boats, and the eminent domain to commandeer private boats. I just wonder where they plan to store the boats through the storm.

It isn't? I know you are reserching this. That graphic depiction of NO shown on the tube suggests that it is. Good morning.
