I’m sorry...but since when did evacuations start at a cat 3 offshore to cat 1 landfall? A 4 or a 5 I could understand...but a 3-1?

Am I missing something or did something change since I lived in NO in the 90s?

Zone A is under evac orders. I haven’t heard of any others.

Remember when NYC was shut down for a Category 1? Forgot the exact year -- I think it was under Cuomo. IIRC, winds were expected to be -- gasp! -- up to 75mph.

If those creampuffs couldn't handle 75 mph, they would've dropped dead in fright at OK's 318 mph winds on 05/03/99 (F-5 tornado).
