I think that the 1/10th report was probably referring to the metal panels that cover the concrete roof sections on the dome, not the roof structure itsself.

Here are a couple links to video from the superdome showing the small holes in the roof.

"Entergy President Dan Packer said work crews would begin assessing damage to the power system Tuesday. But this much he already knows: Hurricane Katrina will go down as the worst the utility has ever experienced.
The situation Monday afternoon was "the worst we've had in our company's history,'' he said on WWL radio.
Packer said more than 700,000 customers - about 100 percent of the utility's customers in southeast Louisiana - were without power as of Monday afternooon."

He also said it could take a month to restore power to everybody.whiskeytangofoxtrot
Radio tower collapse in Ellisville, MS
My relatives live in Ellisville, MS (zip 39437). The 1000' radio tower next to their house came down. They said it didn't tip over - it collapsed on itself (as the engineers assured them it would when it was put up). One of the guy wires is anchored in their front yard. No injuries or house damage from that, although a large tree limb struck their roof. They've been huddled in their storm shelter most of the day.
