If the Saints games of late are any indication how many people the Dome holds...I'd say it must top out at about 200.

Seriously, I have been through Betsy, Camille,...I can't even remember all the names. I never thought I would see another Camille. Looks like I was wrong. I remember the A&P on the beach was blown to bits like a nuke hit it and for weeks, the preacher of the Baptist church right next door kept saying the smell in his church was unbelievable. When they started cleaning the church out to rebuild...they found most of the A&P's meat dept. inside the church! I will never forget those kinds of stories.

OMG. And they keep building with more GLASS. Shattered glass everywhere, even on the beaches where it hits.

Track has shifted ever so slightly to the WEST..and the pitstop to New Orleans is DEAD CENTER.

Good one. Everyonbe should take those stories seriously. An elderly neighbor of mine was a kid in Key West when the big one hit in 1935. The day after the 'cane, they found the railroad tracks a hundred yards inland and bodies draped over tree branches looking like a Salvador Dali surrealist painting.

Everyone should RUN, not walk, if there's any chance at all that a 'cane might change its mind and veer into your area. It's that veering that gets a lot of smug/stupid people killed.
