Everyone should be filling their cars.



Nothing like panic buying in hopes of saving a few bucks, to really stabilize things in a crisis.

If it ain't half empty, let it go until later in the week. Don't create an artificial shortage.

That has to be pump/levee failure.

The roof situation could change dramatically when the wind comes from the North in an hour or so.

I'd like to see everyone here keep in mind that others reading may have loved ones in the area and keep speculation to an absolute minimum.

With all those urban outdoorsman and no AC it's going to get a little ripe in the Dome.

Thanks for your concern.

That looks like a bright light inside the dome to me. It is not bright sunshine outside in the middle of a hurricane and only bright sunshine would make a light that bright through a hole. I doubt if there are any holes in the steel like that.
