Storm threatens recovery efforts

Work on the relief wells which BP hopes to use to permanently stop the leak is due to be suspended.

But incident commander Adm Thad Allen has allowed the damaged well to remain capped while the site is evacuated.

He said ships monitoring the sea bed for signs of problems will be the last to leave the site and the first to return.

"The seismic survey vessels, the acoustic vessels and the vessels operating the ROVs [remote-operated vehicles] will stay as long as possible," said Adm Allen.

"And if conditions allow it, they will remain through the passage of the storm."
