Pardon my ignorance. I'm here on the (hot) rolling plains of North Texas, and I don't know that much about New Orleans. I keep hearing about plans to use the Dome as an emergency shelter. If the city is below sea level, how much of the Dome would be above water if it flooded? Would refugees be stranded in the nosebleed sections?

Sorry, but this doesn't sound like a good plan to me.

Parts of the city are below sea level. The dome is in one of those spots that aren't.

Yup, but being trapped is better than being drowned. An alternative is to break into an office building on Canal Street, and climb up a few flights.

LOL! Yes on the surface that does not sound like a bright plan. However, they may know something we do not. I am not sure, but I am sure they have some type of sense down there.
