Based on my experience in 04 05 if you wait until there is reasonable certainty of the storm's landfall to evacuate, it is too late and you wind up in a shelter, which is a miserable experience. People have already forgotten the cluster**** to get out of Houston when they were threatened by a storm. You have to leave while it's still up in the air. I would have left last night too. I found that driving out at 3:30am works good, nobody on the road at that time but me and a bunch of drunks.

Sure the population of New Orleans is lower now than it was before Katrina. But I can guarantee that a much higher population of the city will be motivated to skedaddle this time. Those roads can clog up quickly. Then you get a major hurricane hitting low elevation highways with the cars lined up bumper to bumper and moving at a crawl.
