do you know if they moved patients out of the hospitals to the Superdome?

A google of "New Orelans hospital Katrina" gets you here:

Just do a search for "hospital" and you'll find that they did not evacuate patients (or not all of them, it's unclear) from the hospital to the superdome, as the doctors and nurses were still watching over them. The hospitals would have made for terrible shelters for any large number of people, though, as it notes the windows blowing out in five floors.
