While the extreme case may be a little much, it is worth mentioning that they have changed in recent years to only even attempting to evacuate the flood zones in the event of a big storm. Kinda scary when you look are the areas that would be flooded out by a major storm surge.

I know I would not plan to ride out a major storm in my house here even though I am no longer in an evacuation zone. (they finally figured out that there was no way to get everyone out of the area)
