You might want to make this just an evacuation thread so we don't have people making new ones for every evacuation order. I know you did, but if they are only looking at the title they might not know.

I expected to see a lot more traffic by this time. As I have suspected, I think that many people in NOLA metro live in a state of denial regarding major hurricane threats to their city. There hasn't been a major hurricane hit NOLA directly in about 40 years, and frequently the apathy becomes more sustained the longer the time has been since the last big hurricane event.
Tomorrow is probably going to be pretty insane on the roads out of NOLA if there isn't a significant change in the official track guidance.

None of our family in the New Orleans area are evacuating until tomorrow. They are tired of evacuating after so many false alarms and simply won't leave today. I tried explaining that this time N.O. is really close to where all of the computer model forecasts are taking the storm (in contrast to Ivan), but it doesn't matter. I imagine this sense of "yea, right, here we go again" is widespread across the city.
Too many there also recall the hullaballoo over Georges. That storm was hyped up much like this one, and then it missed the city and also never reached the projected intensity.

Yep, I agree, but there is only about 30 - or + hours before the Tropical storm force winds reach the coast and after that its going to just go down hill, so everyone needs to go now, otherwise they could be stuck on the roads in a traffic jam while the storm makes landfall, right now NOLA is already pushing their luck...

Traffic cams from NOLA.com

I'm not sure right now (Sat noon) if they are updating as fast as advertised, but this might help if you are wondering what traffic is like.
