AP: By Thursday evening, 11 hours after the military began evacuating the Superdome, the arena held 10,000 more people than it did at dawn. National Guard Capt. John Pollard said evacuees from around the city poured into the Superdome and swelled the crowd to about 30,000 because they believed the arena was the best place to get a ride out of town.

I was under the impression that the Superdome was mostly evacuated last night. In fact, only 70 busses were dispatched to evacuate the Superdome. That number can only evacuate about 5000 by my estimates.

I am stunned at all that I am hearing and seeing. . . and by what I am not hearing or seeing.
