1. yeah, but at a higher altitude

What is the elevation at that dome? Is it any higher than most of the city?

[cdsilv]

2. expected 20 ft of water in NO, ....

no windows above 20 ft in Dome.


Not a good place to be?

[ret5hd]

3. i heard on the news that they are preparing for 10-20 ft of water...

in the dome.

one thing i have not heard mentioned is that after the flooding starts, and because NO is below sea level, THE SEWER LINES IN THE DOME WILL STOP WORKING! What are all those people going to do with no facilities?

4. They just won't flush.

[ret5hd]

5. my point exactly.

[Elidor]

6. I think I read in another thread that the Dome is 25 feet above sea level

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. round buildings should be the code in the gulf states and florida

[applegrove]

8. At least they know it will not wash away. All that concrete should be

Dome is better than flat I should think.
