Holy smokes. Those poor people. No they're probably thinking they should have taken their chances in their homes.

I'd guess their homes are in far worse shape than the SuperDome and these people may be thinking they should've left town when they had the chance.

I heard a reporter saying last night that while the Dome was built to withstand winds up to around 160mph...it had never been tested for the conditions being introduced by Katrina.

Let's hope & pray all those taking shelter in the SuperDome get through this.

The roof is gone! They said this is one of the strongest structures in NO and the roof couldn't withstand the wind.

What a relief -- while there is some damage, the historic French Quarter is still standing! Other sections of New Orleans probably weren't so lucky, but I haven't seen video from those spots yet -- but they're saying some homes were totally flooded out.

Can't wait to hear from SB once power is restored... I hope she and her family are okay!

Katrinia is now down to Category 1.
I think Mississippi is getting hit hard...

New Orleans is a great town, and it looks like there is significant damage, but by no means the worst case scenario.

Are there no deaths reported so far?? The damage is devastating, but if there were no lives lost, that's great.

I know they said last night 3 people from a nursing home died during evacuations. I haven't heard of any new ones.

I watched this all day on the internet and it does appear with the last minute turn it took that Mississippi got the worst of it. Mobile, Alabama looks pretty flooded as well.

Did anyone see the video of a guy running to a car that got submerged in flood water to save the man inside. Seeing that kind of stuff just tugs at my heartstrings.

I think it's gonna take at least a couple days to tally up all the casualties. There are alot of areas where people were trapped and those sections suffered heavy flooding so no one has been able to get there to assess it yet.

On the flip side of seeing good semaritans they show videos of people looting grocery stores. Uggh!!! Those people make me sick. I hope they get hit in the head by flying debris.

One of the most amazing things to watch are the news anchors when they're right in the smack of the hurricane. You know it's all about ratings, and each news station wants their person to be able to report on this first hand. But I thinks it's shear stupidity when you see these guys fighting to stand up, getting blown away, and watching stuff catapolt right in front of them. They they say, "I'm getting the heck out of here". I just want to say, "DUH"!!!

Yes, it is pretty scary. They've just been able to get helicopters in the air to assess the damage. It may not have been as bad as predicted, but it's still horrible.

Now that have to watch out for price gougers(sp) and looters. They will probably have curfews to. I know Charleston did after Hugo tore that place up.

I am happy to say I just heard from Saladbar (couple hours ago). A very brief note, saying she is ok. Evidently she's in Houston, and I assume having a long wait as she told me that terminal "sucks". Said she wasn't sure when she'd be back in Cali.

Glad to know you're safe SB. Post a short line when you get back and have time to take a deep breath.

The local power company in NY (Con Edison) is sending a convoy of trucks to help restore power. They are reporting that some areas may take at least a month to restore. What a mess.

I can't imagine what a nightmare this is. A very good friend of mine used to live in Slidell, not far from New Orleans, and they moved about six months ago. I'm sure they're relieved. God help these people.
