>>> "Astrodome may close next week" I think these guys (officials at the Dome) realized very quickly, after all the refusals to move to the cruise ships, that they had a problem on their hands -- that the evacuees could very easily be seen taking up semi-permanent residence in the dome. Actually, I don't think there ever was 15K people in the Astrodome............I have heard 4 different numbers and I suspect 8K was the right one. I was shocked that they were shutting it down so quickly. But it is probably the smart thing to do; I had really wondered what kinds of problems they would be facing after the shelter had been open for a couple weeks. What kind of problems? Like the Palestinians?
