The Astro dome is gain temporary housing....They are starting to meet with each family on Monday to see if there is family or somewhere else they have connections to.....Brooms were passed out this afternoon and it's being reorganized into family areas, gereactric groups, couples,singles etc.....for multiple reasons...BTW did you see, where one family had brought their tents and had them set up in one area.
I thought maybe they had remodeled the Astrodome. I never went to the restrooms after the 2nd quarter of a football game or 5th inning of baseball for the very same reason when I used to take the kids there from Boerne. Sounds like things didn't change.
Last time I was at a football game there between the Oilers/Steelers, it was very hot in there and the a/c didn't seem to be working right.
This is a prescription for trouble.
The Astrodome actually was designed as an emergency shelter, though.
And that ventilation systems has been upgraded at least three times that I can think of. The big problem it has is that it can't be turned off - so they keep it at a nice 72F inside 24/7/365.
The last upgrade was in the early 90s. Also, they limited people in the Astrodome to 12K, sending the rest to Reliant and the convention center.
12K people can camp out in the Astrodome for quite a while without taxing it too much.
