Quite a few busses await dropping off more refugees and have been turned away. They say it's possible someone died inside the dome this evening. They are looking at Huntsville, San Antonio and some Air Force bases tonight.

Re: Ran Out of Room At the Astrodome!
This just in-Due to the severity of the people's illnesses and the Fire Marshall's assessment in case of fire, they have lowered the total to occupancy of the Astrodome to 11,000. Now they are talking about Dallas, another 4 hrs. away plus. Some have been in the busses for 12 hrs.
Yea, the other dome is a disaster! I am practically getting a constant live feed on Houston and New Orleans on the local stations.Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

Re: Ran Out of Room At the Astrodome!
Well this is crazy, but a re-assessment has been made and their letting 20 more bus loads in. And there are many ambulances leaving the grounds with individuals probably in not very good shape. 1 refugee died in the Astrodome as it was confirmed on the news. Also, they set up the Astro Arena as a triage station which is working very well.Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

They were talking about bringing some folks into the Burger Center in Austin (a decent sized sports facility). Hope those who need a place to stay in peace find it soon.

Truly a terrible tragedy. It show the extent 'civilized' societies can unravel with very little provocation.
