Water is coming through windows on first floor at that hospital in Oxner/Oxnar, didn't specify whether it was because windows broken, or from flooding, earlier the lady said the water was bleeding in around the windows, I thought she meant rain, but she may have meant flood waters

The national guard has an engineer in the dome specifically to monitor and assess any such problems such as this. He was quite confident that this is fairly superficial damage(roof fabric) not structural damage. Just interviewed on Fox.

"very, very old pumps have failed"..Can handle 2 inches of rain, and not much after that.

The system has been overwhelmed before? Doesn't say alot for being "prepared". Pitiful.

Yes, the concrete portion of the SuperDome roof is very thin, that is why you can see daylight through it.

Graphic on FNC: Pumps in New Orleans can only handle 2 inches of rain. Inches. Not feet. That has GOT to be a typo.

Per hour, I believe. Which means they can't keep up right now, and that's why we're starting to see flooding.
