"NO may be uninhabitable after this and the storm could concievably change the path of the Mississippi, with the effect of access to the Port of NO being cut off."
I hope the Superdome is built better than the World Trade Centers.
Why are people going into a single structure is beyond me . Is it the highest elevation around?
The outside of the structure is solid. But the roof.... hard to say.
There is no "highest elevation." The Dome is the only concrete reinforced building available with any kind of height above street level.
I just pray it doesn't turn into a giant tomb.
I believe that someone stated that it's the strongest building in NO.
God help them.
Why are people going into a single structure is beyond me.
Maybe they had no where else to go.
Possibly because it is made of reinforced concrete and is more or less flood proof.
