Most of those people were just too stupid to leave. It wasn't until after the flooding and their cars were under water that they wanted to get out.
The poor, elderly, crippled, and those otherwise unable to evacuate on their own were told to go to specific locations within the city. Most specifically, they were told to go to the Superdome, from which they should have been picked up and transported elsewhere.
