"The people will be mostly out of there when the storm hits......." No they won't. For one, you've always got the ones who want to protect their property from looters or want to "experience the power of the storm". For another, there are those who just don't have the transportation to leave. And finally, you have those who won't leave early enough. If they haven't left yet, they won't make it. Have you ever been under an evacuation alert? The roads fill up real fast. Much of coastal Louisiana is very low, many roads will have water over them pretty quickly. When I lived on the coast, I always lit out as soon as there was a hint of an evacuation order. One time I didn't, I judged that the forecasters were wrong and we weren't in the path. I happened to be right on that one, but even if I had been wrong, it wasn't a very big storm, but I digress. Any way, being stuck on the road in stalled traffic with a Cat 5 storm outside is not something I would wish on anyone. But that is going to happen...
