Absolutely. But I'll say this, New Orleans responded to Georges in 1998 unlike anything they've done here in a long time. The flooding from Tropical Storm Frances woke everyone up, and hundreds of thousands of people were out of town for Georges. Very few people evacuated for Lili for whatever reason. I don't think most of them saw the threat here. We got a bunch of feeder bands, but it wasn't that bad. And that's part of what breeds complacency. There's no evacuating SE and SC Louisiana in total. Too many people have no way out, and plenty more don't want to get stuck on a 2 lane highway or interstate which is all we have moving out east, north or west.
