149. They cannot evacuate everyone. Too late now.

The Superdome is likely to be safe, but was designed for 200 mph wind gusts, which it will almost certainly experience. However, tornados accompany storms such as this, and a tornado-driven telephone pole can pierce one yard of steel re-inforced concrete, such as the Superdome roof is made of. It does not, therefore, offer perfect safety, but is also likely to be the safest place in the area.
