roof failing at super dome. Raining inside super dome. live tv feed

Is the roof failing, or is the air itself generating rain? Big difference...if the roof's integrity is compromised already, that's trouble.

......... Maybe when I finally get around to upgrading to XP from Win98SE (I've been saying that for years, LOL).

Win98SE? You're kidding, right? I literally hated that system and thought it the worst MS ever offered. Crashed more times than Sonny Liston got hit.

I use Firefox also and think it's great.:)

"Wonder how the NBC guy got in?"

Broke the rules, ignored the law, spit on decency. You know, the usual truck for journalists.

BTW, hope you're OK.

From WDSU: Apparently something has happened to a portion of the Dome's roof; people are moving to the "undercover" portions of the dome.

The reporter is talking about a "sprinkling" rain that is worsening inside the Dome, but it is only occuring in one part of the Dome.

Stop what..................relating the story of the terrible storm that came through here five years ago? I suggest you kindly stay out of it, and quit trying to stir the pot.

I got to the part where she started yammering about how they are due some infrastructure money....yada, yada, yada.

Can we wait until the storm passes before you pick my pocket?

Jeeze

I KNEW they shouldn't have used the contractor that built Miller Park up here in Milwaukee </humor_feeble> The rain inside the Superdome isn't a good sign.

Thanks. The reporter asked the mayor where it was, then cut him off when the mayor tried to answer to tell him that Lake P was on the north side of NBC's map.
