I did not read it was being evacuated as much as they are allowing the people in it to go outside on the miles of ramps and into the parking garages.
EDIT - I could not see anything in that link to indicate that - but there was an article as of 6:29 a.m. this morning that said the people in the dome were allowed to go outside to escape the smell.
Is the roof failing?
as of 2:29 p.m. - people were being brought there:
NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Conditions are far from ideal at the Louisiana Superdome, but for the new arrivals, it's better than what they left behind.
Rescuers are continuing to bring survivors from Hurricane Katrina to the huge sports arena, where the air conditioning is out and the bathrooms are filthy. And there are two holes in the roof, caused by the storm.
There are more than 10,000 people in the arena.
Officials had earlier reported two deaths at the Superdome, and now, they report that someone died Tuesday after plunging from an upper level of the stadium. They say the person probably jumped.
