This is why you have to evacuate BEFORE it is clear the storm will hit you ... right now there is gridlock on every interstate and state highway leaving the area ... also there are no hotels available within a ten hour drive (I don't know that as a fact but that's what happens in Florida and it's probably worse in NOLA).

Once it is perfectly clear that you will get whacked it is too late ... all essential personnel will be focused on getting people to shelters, nobody is going to give you a ride out.

Cops, firemen etc. will be on duty for the next several days and risking their lives to save people ... right now all they can do is direct you to a shelter.
