What elevation are those generators?

How is the sewage going to work in the Super Dome if the city is flooded?

Doesn't look good to me...

Here is the latest buoy info and it still shows 30 ' seas and 30 knot winds.

Dont understand

What elevation are those generators?

Don't know. I just know all large venues have them like hospitals, institutional facilities, and public saftey agencies. (A lot of your more sensitive industries have them as well.) Water level is probably something they may have not planned on, but you never know.

I do know, from what I have heard, that there are a lot of hazardous materials stored above ground that are at risk. Hazardous Materials people are going to be busy when this is over...

How is the sewage going to work in the Super Dome if the city is flooded?

Supposedly around 1am, the city will flush the entire sewer system into the gulf, assuming that the hurricane will wisk that right out to sea. The system will then be able to handle what sewer needs the remaining population has until the crisis is over with.

Reality is that the sewers are going to back up onto the streets if things go bad and that will be the least of the toxic stew.
