Spooky Article About Hurricane Threat to New Orleans

American RadioWorks hosts a radio piece and article from September 2002, that discusses the dangers that extreme weather pose to New Orleans:

Researcher Jay Combe has reached a troubling conclusion. He’s told his supervisors at the Army Corps of Engineers that if The Hurricane hits New Orleans, most of the buildings in the city would probably be destroyed. If the water didn’t demolish them, the hurricane’s horrific winds would. And Combe says that raises a question: How many people would die?

Actually, glancing through the article, the reality wasn’t as bad as predicted.
