It's also not the first time New Orleans has evacuated. Last year, when Hurricane Ivan looked like it might hit the city, they evacuated, and that wasn't the first time, either. I think they're pretty good about estimating the number of people who've left and the number left behind by now.
Incidentally, I came across this MetaFilter thread that discusses the threat from Ivan and the evacuation, too.
