Re: Hurricane Katrina Makes Landfall in SE Louisiana as a Category 4 Storm

WAPT in Jackson is streaming it's coverage. The have a reporter doing a live report right now from the SuperDome. He has just reported that something on the roof has given way and water is now coming into the building from the roof. He said people are moving from the stands to more protected areas. The reporter said he is very nervous and has covered storms for many years. He just said he can feel water falling on his head. Like a sprinking now, but getting heavier. It is only in one section of the Dome, but it is very worrying. "People are trying to remain calm. They are trying to make their way from the plaza level to where the concrete reinforced concessions are. The sprinkling is now more like a thunderstorm getting ready to come."
