Back to Katrina.

The superdome does have a hole in the roof. The structural integrity of the building hasn't been comprimised, but the repairs will be necessary.

The French Quarter has sustained minimal damage. Most damage seen is skyscraper windows being blown out.

Most severe flooding happened along Lake Ponchartrain and in St. Bernard Parish. Grand Isle, LA and Mississippi Gulf Coast has experienced the worst storm surge.

The roof is a massive steel superstructure with a paneling structure on the underside.

From another New Orleans thread, I read that the top was spray on plastic roof that is ver energy efficient and durable. It lasted since the building was completed in the 70s to now. There was link in that other thread too to the company or the supplier of the roof.

The overall damage to the dome wasn't that bad. The structure is 30 year old now and held up well.
