I get a little nervous when I hear that a gulf oil platform registered winds of 215 mph before the instrumentation failed, then read that the Superdome was designed for 200mph winds.
I hope that figure doesn't include the safety margin.

I don't think to much about the winds hitting the dome and taking it down...its chunks of the surrounding buildings hitting the dome at those speeds...I don't think that was figured into the design. I think its a death trap. But then I would have been on the road and out of there by Friday. The death toll on this monster will leave us all speechless I fear.
