Any more news on the roof at the dome?

I am at work and just hearing bits and pieces.

Is it going to hold?

1. Some people are leaving to go to other shelters. The worst of

the storm to be over in 1 hour. Eyewall going away from NO.

3. as bad on the other side...

2. So far, it appears as if they are going to move people to the

outter section of the dome - to the concourse area or mezzanine area. The power was temporarily off, but appears to have been restored.

4. Today show just showed pictures of the holes and it is not 1/2 the roof

missing. There are two holes where rain is coming in. They didn't say anything about people leaving for other shelters, just relocating within that building to avoid the rain. Brian Williams, who is there, sent the pictures by email to the Today Show studio.

5. Reporter inside the Dome said

the section was apx. 1/12 the size of the Dome...this was about 20 minutes ago...

[Sydnie]

6. Today show now saying those holes are 9 feet wide

Brian Williams is saying that tiles are lifting on the roof but not being blown off. The holes are at a seam in the roof. They are being moved to other areas of the dome.

8. Brian Williams Emailed from inside the dome-it looked like small sections

Not "Massive" pieces as one hyperbolic network crawl called it. No one is Moving anywhere. Just to the promenades inside the dome.
Sheesh!:shrug:

10. they had engineers on several stations saying

that the struture itself is sound. The roof is in no danger of collapse. Don't you just love the catastrophising that the networks do? (sarc)
