Raining inside the superdome!

[SaveAmerica]

Guy inside said the roof has been comprimised and people are moving to places that have covering to protect them from rain. Chilling. This is on WDSU.

3. I'd really hate to be in that place right now

and being pushed around by gun wielding National Guardsmen too.

4. I'm Glad They Are There Or You Could Have A Lord Of The Flies Scenario

I just hope there are enough of them.

5. Not just leaking but CNN just reported power outage

in the dome as well. That has got to be a scary feeling sitting in the dark with the wind whipping and the roof leaking and being blown. My candle is lit for them and I will continue to have good thoughts and prayers for them...

8. They have backup power

I think they have some light but no AC

6. Superdome probably built by a Bush supporter. n/t

:crazy:

7. Domes, like arches, need all segments to remain stable

That's what worries me. A dome is really just a three dimensional arch. Imagine any part of an arch being taken out, and you get the idea of what happens when part of a dome is taken out. All there is to do is pray for the people in the Superdome.

9. 3' x 5' chunk blew off

According to live report from WDSU

Reporter inside said it looks like it's about to be more.

And for somebody that asked... there are thousands of people, most of them poor, elderly or disabled in the Superdome. That's why people are concerned about it so much.

Just said it's no longer safe to stand on the field.

12. I can't imagine what the people inside are going through right now

Did he say that a lightening rod came through the opening on to the field?

[SaveAmerica]

10. they just said a 5 x 3 foot section of the roof is off, unbelievable

[HamdenRice]

11. CNN reports: first 1/12, now "massive" part of roof gone nt

[SaveAmerica]

13. That guy who is looking at it from the inside does not make it

sound 'massive', people aren't freaking, I think CNN is exaggerating

[demo dutch]

15. It's bad enough as it is, we don't need CNN spewing terror!

[SaveAmerica]

14. Are they showing footage of it?

[momisold]

16. I was worried

last night when the news was saying people were in the Superdome. I told my hubby I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that place in a storm like that.

17. No, no cameras allowed. For personal privacy resons.

It doesnt mean that someone can't film behind the backs of the officials though.
