Mobile area voluntary evacuations begun, per Seidel. Looking for 20' tides. That spells trouble for I-10 Bay Bridge.

The roof of the Superdome might collapse. Anyone inside when that happens might be in mortal danger (flying glass and flying debris).

Just hope the winds are under 100 mph when this storm hits NO if anyone is going to try to ride it out in the Superdome.

And also hope that no tornadoes hit during the storm (or as the storm passes, and from the outer storm squalls).

The roof of the Superdome might collapse

I don't believe the superdome can withstand the expected wind pressure. I think the sides and the entire structure will go.

Yes, the roof could very well collapse or be ripped off. But there's no 100% safe place. There hasn't been a structure built that can withstand Nature at her worst, but there's hope. Better to be on a yacht than a pirogue, better to be in the Superdome than stuck in a riverfront house. There is a potential for great loss of life inside the Superdome and outside of it.

Yes, that would be catastrophic. The Superdome is
certified up to 200 MPH winds but wind gusts over 207 mph
are predicted so the dome may drop.

G.W. Bush saved lives by making the call today.
