When a Cat*5 Hurricane is aimed straight at you for nearly three days what does a person do?

It became a Cat 5 storm about 40 hours before making landfall.

You still don't play games even with a Category 3 Hurricane

Especially when your city is BELOW sea level

You get the heck out of there ... PRONTO!

When Katrina left the Florida coast it quickly became a Cat *2 then a Cat*3. You can't deny they didn't know it was coming right at them for days. Stare death in the face for 40 hours and all but the incapacitated should move out of the way by their own volition.

So if the people were not properly evacuated with Hurricane Ivan 2004 and prior Hurricane George, why would they think the same incompetant AZZ Mayor & Govenor would save them this time?
