The superdome is more than 30 years old.
One breach in an otherwise well-constructed building can be enough for
pressure to develop that will blow out windows and interior walls (never
meant for contact with such forces). Did someone leave a window open?
Many of the recently constructed shore-side buildings acted as predicted and
built. That is, the first and second floor walls collapsed allowing water
to pass through rather than push against the entire structure. Much as a
house on stilts (many of which also survived) this construction technique is
relatively new.
Be well, stay safe.
