Has the urban parts of Jefferson Parish\Orleans parish just been shielded from hurricanes that they have no experience?

I think it's partly due to the fact that after the storm passed, people in the urban area went outside and saw what appeared to be the results of a very bad thunderstorm. Some downed trees and lost shingles, but not flooding or devastating structural damage (with a few exceptions). So then they hear that Entergy is hitting the streets late Wednesday and/or early Thursday. They probably lost sight of the massive nature of the outage and damage to lines and poles.
