Deport posted on another thread about a newspaper article coming out this morning. Gov Perry was very explicit that everyone would be searched for weapons/drugs and am sure they would be arrested. After the searches they found weapons thrown in the bushes which meant these people traveled across the LA and TX with weapons.

Houston has a lot of police on the scene and the media is being kept out so these folks can finally get a decent night's sleep in a clean bed with hot meals and be able to take a shower. Mom's don't have to worry about their kids being attacked by some of the scum that was present in the SuperDome. The stories that came out of there were disgusting. Now these Mom's can relax and let their kids play.

Those children deserve so much because they are helpless in this whole tragedy.

I am afraid that the Astrodome is going to become the Superdome in a very short time. That building is pushing 50 years old and it is far from up the the challenge. The plumbing, electrical and airconditiong systems are designed for peak use for one event and then maintenance between events. There are 84 showers and toilets in the building to accommodate the 15,000 people that are now full time in the building. Unless these folks take responsibility for keeping that 50 year old plumbing clear they will have a sanitation problem in short order. I don't see how the air handling system can keep up with 24 hour demand for long without major downtime for maintenance. I have been to many events in the Dome and I can tell you that you do not want to enter the bathroom area after the first 2 hours because, by then most toilets are clogged and overflowing.
