Mayor seems to have accepted that NO isn't going to get a direct hit (at this time)

Noted the strictures against price gouging- curfew at 2pm

Pretty standard. :)

They are not expecting anything bad...they have not decided to open a shelter yet for the general public.

They think that they dodged this one.

Superdome

Does the Superdome have water tight seals to keep water from entering? Is the field surface below street level? The Toyota Center in downtown Houston has large watertight doors to keep water out of the arena, I think.
