superdomed
adj.— «There’s a new phrase in the safety industry—“Superdomed.” That’s what happened to the people in New Orleans. There were people who were damn hungry and damn thirsty stuck in the Superdome.

They thought they were on their own Gilligan’s Island.» —“How the LAFD Keeps Us Connected: An Interview with Brian Humphrey” by Andy Sternberg LAist July 9, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
