Oh crap. not good.
Just heard on the NPR news at the top of the hour, that the Superdome's roof has started to tear.

:scared:

I hope those people stay safe.

2. It's not 1/12 of the roof. Fucking CNN hyperbole.
There are pictures posted in GD. There are a couple of tears in the fabric of the roof. Maybe holes 10 feet scross.

4. the structural intergrity of the roof is sound
they had several engineers talking about it. The structure itself was made to withstand quite strong winds...
