Oh there's plenty of space at the Convention Center, but would it turn into a hellhole like the Super Dome? I was thinking safer, semi permanent locations to house families.
The thing about the Super Dome that bothers the hell out of me is the electricity. It's designated the final refuge and it has no alternative power? No drive-up diesel generator at least to keep the lights on? At least SOME of the lights, like say, 10% of normal light intensity?
They had 250 guardsmen, 500 buses and 25,000 people. Why not bus them out? Two or three trips and those people are out of "the bowl."
Where to take them? I don't know, Baton Rouge? Houston? But at least get them out of the bowl.
