WDSU reports that the patients in threatened hospitals are being moved (I'd assume by boat) to the SuperDome.

A facility with no power. No ventilation. An open roof. No food. No water. Toilets out of service.

These patients should be helicoptered out. Assuming there are helicopters available.

The SuperDome generator is still running - for now. Food and water are in place and being distributed there.

I heard the crit pts are being evacuated by boat to the interstate and then by ambulance to BR and other areas.

They are helicopter evacuating the children and baby pts out.

Oh, and the steel roof is still intact except for two moderate-sized panels and a couple of inspection hatches. The fabric roof/sealer is gone, but the steel roof, while not waterproof, is largely intact and is a LOT better than nothing.

I am betting they will just have to leave the "walking wounded" and take the more serious ones to more apt locations.

I saw upthread that there was a riot in the Superdome. I was offline last night, so I missed any postings about that. What happened?
