They've had to evacuate too many times for them to be sensible, although I have heard that the highways really are full of people heading out. I have a friend there waiting...she has to have her son drive her and he's waiting until tomorrow to see what the storm will do.
If it were me, I'd go. This one reminds me too much of the track of Betsy for my comfort level.

If it were me, I'd go now too. But, if it'll help you worry less, everytime they've done one of these evacuations out of N.O. everyone does get out in time. It does take 4 times as long to get where you're going but the highways always seem to empty out in time. Twice we've had family leave at the last minute and both times they told us the highways were nearly empty and that they made record time to our house.
