The superdome couldn't house 15,000 people for 2 days! Didn't have enough food, water, security. How many days were they expecting to house 30,000 people? 3/4 a way through the storm? The gov and mayor definately dropped the ball on this. their first priority should be to protect their citizens and they did NOTHING.

I'd have to see the exact quote, but it sounds like you're answering your own question, but you can't see it. The answer is, "the superdome would be able to house up to 30,000 of the city's poorest
during the storm." Apparently, they didn't anticipate people still being there five days *after* the storm (whether that was their fault or not) and they didn't anticipate water and electricity being *nonexistent* after the storm, and they didn't ancitipate the security problems after the storm.
