The fact of the matter is, they did stay. Some of the people that were stranded were even wealthy. Why did they stay?
Katrina was lowered to a category 4, not a 5.
Most of the people that were interviewed said they stayed because they didn't expect the hurricane to be as bad as it was. The gulf gets dozens of hurricanes every year.
