There is a little known tactic that gets everyone's attention during critical evacuation orders--cut the electricity in advance of the storm. Folks will take notice without A/C and lights.

That last little tropical storm that hit NO(can't remember the name), people were screaming and complaining about no electricity, ONE day later in NO. Complaints about pumps not working and not enough generators to pump the water out, and that was a TS.

It's astounding how big this storm has gotten since this morning.
It's also getting much more organized than it was late this afternoon... What a disaster this is turning out to be.

Ma'am what is the latest on the hurricane?

This is true.
...they've done it here (Florida) before an evacuation.
