are they evacuating the evacuees from the Astro dome? And if so, where to?

Yes, Ft. Smith, Ark. Reportedly, some didn't want to leave. The Astrodome wasn't considered safe if it took a direct hit.

My understanding was that the Astrodome itself had already been emptied, through placement of refugees into more permanent living arrangements, and that a few thousand refugees were left in the adjacent Reliant Center. Those from the Reliant Center are the ones recently shipped up to Arkansas.

On an unrelated note, the northward jog I saw on the last few satellite frames of Rita is getting more pronounced now.
