I told her that she should of came here to stay with me but that means she'd be here for months
Am I missing something or with the abandoment of trying to fix the breach, is the bowl just going to fill up? Or is does this just effect a certain part of town?

some misinformation is being posted here. I just heard on CNN that the Superdome had 12K last night, has 30K right now and that they have not started evacuating yet. But some of you are saying that 60K are holed up in the Superdome. I'm not positive but I'm going with the CNN estimate.

4:21 P.M. - WWL-TV Reporter quotes officials as saying there may now be 60,000 people in the Superdome and that more people are still being urged to go there.
San Antonio is where it's at. I can't think of anywhere else that doesn't suffer majorly from hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires or mud slides.
The humidity sucks, but that's about it.
WWL Blog update:
6:39 P.M. - JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Senator Trent Lott is urging President Bush to visit Mississippi in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, telling the president -- quote -- "the people of Mississippi are flat on their backs. They're going to need your help."
Okay hijacking cars? WTF where the are you gonna go if by chance you find an unflooded road, how are you gonna drive without gas? The lack of intelligence in some people is pretty amazing.
they said a wal-mart opened its doors and let people take anything they wanted.. pretty cool
Thinking last ditch about the levee, find anything they can - shipping containers, whatever, and start sinking those suckers in the gap.
Yeah, last ditch I know, but - you're talking about the whole city flooding.
Yeah, I think all we got is some weak flooding and some minor earthquakes every 50 years.San Antonio is where it's at. I can't think of anywhere else that doesn't suffer majorly from hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires or mud slides.
The humidity sucks, but that's about it.
Then again, you have to suffer thru nine months of summer.
i think the 60k figure is from Fox.. they also have a higher confirmed death toll # (80 in one county of MISS vs. 50-80 for whole gulf coast on CNN)
That's awesome. It's about time.
Wal-Mart rules.
Damn. I just said 15 minutes ago that's what i would do if I had a store. Manny - you can't hate Wal-Mart as much now
i think 60k is what it can hold, not how many are there
So would that breach flood the whole city or just a certain section?
That's awesome!
I hope the people are going for the food, drinks and medicines, though.
I heard a figure of 80,000 as far as capacity goes.
Edit: Nevermind, found the specs: link
The Superdome has a listed maximum football seating capacity of 72,003(expanded) or 69,703(not expanded), a maximum basketball seating capacity of 55,675, and a maximum baseball capacity of 63,525; however, published attendance figures from events such as the Sugar Bowl have exceeded 79,000.
it holds 77K, but I don't know how much or if the bottom part is flooded...
LJ, the Pontchartain breach at 17th and Canal is the one that has made downtown/French Quarter/Superdome go from dry to flooding.
The Superdome streets were dry yesterday evening, now they have 3 feet of water around the Superdome on all sides.
In other words, the whole bowl is basically going to fill up.
In 12-15 hours the water will be three feet over sea level, or nine feet greater overall at the east bank of Metairie and Orleans according to Mayor Nagin.
Figured I'd throw that correction out there.
NEW YORK -- The NBA players' association said Tuesday it is launching an immediate effort to assist in the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
"We are in the process of contacting every player in the league to solicit their support and ideas on how we can make a difference as quickly as possible," said union president Antonio Davis of the Chicago Bulls.
The union will help deliver supplies to the hardest hit areas.
"We want to mobilize immediately and provide as much assistance as possible to the tens of thousands of people who find themselves in life threatening situations as a result of this natural disaster," executive director Bill Hunter said. "Our goal is to collectively raise and contribute at least $1 million in aid to the victims."
Bulls guard Chris Duhon, from Slidell, La., said he would work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to try to get financial support, clothing and food.
"This tragic event has destroyed the homes and lives of many people -- people I know," Duhon said. "Many towns are experiencing this devastation and have yet to determine what, if any, buildings will be saved. We have to do something to help ease this burden."
now thats awesome!!
i bet shaq gives the largest donation out of the players
That's awesome to hear Kori, hopefully they get way more than $1 million.
