Rita didnt take the Dome off
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas - A Hurricane Ike evacuee gave birth in the bathroom of a shelter Friday with the help of an expert in geriatric psychiatry who delivered his first baby in two decades. Dr. Mark Burns told the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung in a report for today’s newspaper that it was kind of like riding a bicycle. Ku Paw had her fourth child, a baby girl.
I expect the Astrodome may have problems with the roof.
I believe Houston may still get hit with 110 mph winds and 130 mph gusts...
Large structures are an impediment to such strong winds...

Downtown Houston taking the brunt now
It’s 4 a.m. and Ike’s hurricane force winds are battering downtown, together with driving rain. Restaurant awnings and other debris are being blown down the streets.
Trees are down, windows have been blown out of the Chase Tower.
Meanwhile the winds continue to howl down the skyscraper canyons, and things continue to go bump in the night.
