I'm not assuming low evac rates at all. I'm assuming 80-90% evac rates, which would be historically high for a hurricane, except for those places where officials are stating otherwise, like Biloxi.

But even if you have 90% evac rates across the entire MS coastline - which we did not - there were a lot more than a couple of hundred people in those areas where we are seeing total devastation.

Exactly. We have reports that many did not listen to orders as well. Those claiming everyone evacuated are either not listening to the facts coming forth from local officials, or they are ignoring them. Anyone that came in contact with the main body of surge had a very low chance of surviving.
