I was in NO as a tourist during Hurricane Camille and truly it was not that bad at all. Lost the power for a few hours but when the storm passed, it was over. The airport was partly under water, but functioning and I flew home the next day.
Second, I am sure that many people stayed in their homes to protect it from looting.
