Everything - I was polite in saying "I Believe" and etc, but I will end this with this - that was not the question. It just was not. It was on other alternative locations to the dome. Period. Say what you will. It was not. I listen well. I have been doing nothing but listening the past two days, as my whole world is down there. So that is all. Have a good day.

Yeah, especially after the scares they had last year.

Don't forget, 36 hours ago or so most people thought this was heading for the Fla. Panhandle/Mobile.

WDSU says the roof has leaked in the past and that this is one of the reasons it was considered and called a refuge of last resort.

Actually they said that what you are watching was videoed last night, it is not a live feed. They cannot do live feed right now. :D

not sure how that is good news still...the covering on the roof is slowly being ripped off by basically cat 1 or 2 winds....imagine what would have happened without the eastern jog
