Oh, and another thing?

I can't imagine anything being much more terrifying that being told you have to sit inside a covered arena in the near-dark after the power is lost, during the strongest hurricane in forty years - and you can't leave, go anywhere or do anything about it because you can't afford it.

And then multiply that by multitudes if you are too elderly and frail, as well as broke.

You want suckage, that's about pegs the meter in my book.

Katrina, huh.

If she had a face, she'd look like Ann Coulter.

As you can now see, if they had gone to smaller buildings, they would all be dead or grasping onto what is left of the shelter. Where else is there a stable, smaller building that is dry with even limited power? None. Simply put, there weren't enough buildings tall enough and equipped to house that many people from the storm.

Now, they can peel back the dome and airlift them to other shelters. That dome DID save thousands of lives, and it looks like that's the last event that'll ever take place there.

I'd be far, far more scared of the result had those people been anyplace else in NO.
