I live in Pensacola, FL. Our city hall was heavily damagedby Ivan in Sept 04. The repair/reconstruction of it Might be done by April of 06.''

If there's not a lot structural damage to the dome, I don't see why it couldn't be done by September.

There isn't any structural damage. Mostly the interior needs to be completely re worked, broken glass etc. The thing is made of metal and concrete, you'd need a nuke to shake it badly.

I think this is some big big news. For the moment, the Saints are back in N.O. big time.
