The City of Houston/Harris County finally found a use for that big boob-shaped thing by Reliant Stadium that gathers dust and eats taxpayer dollars ever since Bud Adams had a hissy fit and bugged out to Tennessee:

As water continued to rise in New Orleans today, Texas officials have worked out a plan to bring up to 23,000 refugees from the Superdome to Houston’s Astrodome.
Hurricane refugees trapped in the Superdome will come to the 40-year-old Astrodome in over 500 buses under plans being put together by state and local officials.
“It will be a noble calling for the grand lady at this time in her career,” said Harris County Judge Robert Eckels. “We’ll have a group of people who are tired, who are frustrated, who are scared and who have been through a tremendous tragedy.”
Eckels said officials are not expecting to keep refugees in the stadium very long.
“I’m thinking in terms of days, maybe weeks,” he said.

If I’m not blogging, It’ll be because… um… I’ll be in Chicago. Because my grandmother’s turning 90 and the party’s there.
But there’s talk about volunteer efforts and maybe the company will get some folks together to lend a hand. They tend to do that sort of thing now and then. If so, I plan on being a part of that group when I get back.
It’ll be far more interesting than anything I’ve seen in the dome over the years. Man, did the Stones suck there or what?
