I saw one blurb saying it would be a month before they

Bet they'll have even more trouble getting people to leave the next time they
want to evacuate someplace. AP is saying less than a week.


Normally I'd agree but this one was a real doozy- if you didn't get out
when you could, you'd be damn lucky to make it. If anything I think it
makes people take the orders more seriously. The real risk is
scrambling everybody and then having the thing go "poof" and just knock
over a few trees. Imagine if there were another 1m people in New
Orleans- we'd be looking at tsunami-scale casualties.
