In the face of an approaching storm, scientists say, the city's less-than-adequate evacuation passages would strand 250,000 people or more, and probably kill united of 10 left behind as the city inundateed under 20 feet (6m) of water. Thousands of refugee could land in Houston. Economically, the toll would be shattering. If an Allison-type storm were to strike recently made known Orleans, or a category three storm or greater with at least 111mp/h (178km/h) winds, the arises would be cataclysmic, New Orleans planners said."
