I had the exact same thoughts, especially about the Dome. I'm really worried about it.

Because of the cuvature of the exterior, any lateral energy winds will be transferred verticaly literally taking the roof off. You heard it here first. They are being evacuated into a death trap IMHO.

That's what I was thinking. Who has that photo of it? Any engineer types who are reading this care to opine?

Oh I so hope and pray you are wrong. The footage of the people with their belongings and children and babies was enough to make me want to cry.

Prayers for all of those people.
