unfortunately, smoking is not allowed inside the Superdome.

That, and no pets allowed, is why many folks don't go to shelters.

I guess avoiding a little second hand smoke is more important.

I know they were late to the drill, but I can't help but feel badly for those poor people inside the gridlocked cars out on the open highway. Some are only 35 miles away from the city although they've been inching along for 4 hours.

What if they didn't bring food, what if they need a bathroom (especially the kiddies), what if a small baby needs a warm bottle. Or what if they break down or run out of gas. They can't leave their cars. They can't go forward quickly and they can't turn around and go back.

Maybe it's better to be in that scary stadium than trapped on the highway when the raging winds smash into all those vehicles in a couple hours.

Oh my, this is horrible for all these good folks. I'm sure they are terrified.
