Isn't this a little late to call a evac there? Corpus Called an evac when it was on the southern edge of the cone. Louisiana has always been in the northern edge of that cone of uncertainty. Louisiana is what about 18hrs behind Texas on this?
What surprises me is they're not even further behind.
The lower parishes were under mandatory evacuation yesterday and the other parishes have been under voluntary evacuation since Tuesday morning. They have been evacuating the elderly, special needs, prisoners, nursing homes and hospitals since at least Tuesday. The mandatory evacuation was given early this morning. They have also been running the buses since yesterday. Trust me when I say that people are evacuating in droves. I was lucky to know the backroads to my sister's house because the traffic is BAD on the official evacuation routes.
