Vastly better than Houston's. Not even remotely comparable. The same rainfall amount that would put Houston under water would have a few streets and underpasses rendered impassible for a few hours in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. My hometown was on the east side near the eyewall when the storm stalled over them for a few hours. Tons of wind damage, virtually zero flooding aside from parking lots and one levee that was damaged from the storm surge.
