This was a Sunday news report, so it happened Saturday or earlier prior to the news deadline.
Are we sure the evacuation order was given on Sunday, not Saturday? If it didn't happen until Sunday, that is almost criminal.

The mandatory evacuation order didn't happen until Sunday (somewhere around 9:30 am). A voluntary order went out at 4:45 pm Saturday.
Please, until Sunday, they really didn't know it was headed straight for New Orleans.
Yes, the ORDER was not given until Sunday. Anybody with any brains didn't wait until Sunday. Unfortunately, most NO residents don't seem to have any brains
I'm just reading the thread, so maybe someone's already said it.
I've been reading FR daily since Friday, uncontrollably.
Saturday Nagin "I am not a drug addict" URGED people to leave. Voluntarily. Sunday morning it was a so-called mandatory evac. But not mandatory enough.
ThugMayor "I am not a drug addict" Nagin has the blood of thousands of people on his hands. And the Lady Gov does as well.
I saw the official order by the mayor and the governor to evacuate which was broadcast on SUNDAY morning. The idiot mayor noted at that time that the airport had closed on SATURDAY and that there was not a rental car to be had in New Orleans. These people are criminally negligent.
It was Sunday. You can go back in the Katrina threads and see everyone who was posting about this mayor and governor getting people killed because of their inaction.
