There will be too may folks that hang around too long no matter when they order it. I was stationed in Belle Chase at the NAS which was the first substantial shelter for everybody south of there. The parish runs all the way to the delta and there is only 1 decent highway to get out on. The NAS is a pretty good shelter, but it won't hold everyone.
