MSNBC had pictures of some pretty decent holes in the roof.

Ten bucks says it was leaking last week and the week before that, too. Good job by the media ramping up the suspense though...

Nope, now updated.

Massive piece of Superdome roof has peeled off. National guard moving people to another part of the stadium. Watching on CNN now.

Awesome!! What's the body count up to?

I can't wait for dead bodies, aligators and snakes to take over the streets of New Orleans.

Maybe the Casino on the water will float out to international waters and become the propoerty of no one. If it does, I call dibs.

I think "massive piece" is a gross overstatement. Maybe 1% of the top is open as a result from the pictures I saw.

Hotel collapsed in Harvey, LA.

Call me crazy but I'm a bigger fan of seeing the streets being filled with drunk skanks showing off their baby feeders.

yeah, just saw that. And it hasn't even hit the hardest yet.

PhillyGirl · August 29, 2005, 09:37:17 AM

The hurricane is now as big as the state of Florida.

Meh, I've been there and done that. Thrice. I'm now far more interested in a localized apocalypse.

Oh, now that sounds like fun. Can I make a reservation now or do I have to be dead first?

I'm willing to negotiate.

One of these storms , we're going to see a journalist impaled by sheet metal live on TV.

I was listening to NPR on the way in this morning. Their "reporter" Greg Allen is on the 27th floor of the Hilton, downtown N'arlens. All I could think was, you dumb farg, RUN!!! Jesus, even that Weather Channel loony Jim Cantori fled the coast.

This footage brought to you by the Airship Snoopy, flying high above the Superdome. MetLife, it pays.
