The TxDOT coordinated evacuation from Houston was a disaster complicated by Contraflow lanes being opened very late in the process and people who left far west and north Houston who could have stayed home and been safe.

Yep a disaster in some peoples eyes....... but few deaths, people not stranded in rising water, very little looting, etc. A little more complicated than moving some 1/2 million or so when you are trying to move some 3 or more million..
Now all that said I doubt any evacuation plan for a major populated area will get the people out in a short time. I think that is evident with the two sister hurricane evacuations.

And I read that in an interview, the mayor or governor stated that the late opening of the contraflow lanes was a needed correction. A politician admitting and accepting responsibilty. So quickly.
