I don’t believe this to be the case. Hurricane Cindy hit NOLA in July 2005, 2 months before Katrina. They hyped the storm up and predicted catastrophic damage. People sat on the interstate for hours to get out of NOLA. It took us 6 hours to get to and through Baton Rouge. This was before contra-flow became a thing. Fortunately, Cindy wasn’t that bad, cat 1, but people became very dismissive of doomsday forecasting. That’s why some people didn’t take Katrina as seriously as they should have, we had just run through a false alarm
True. I live off Highland Road and cars were just lined up on both sides with people just giving up going any further or low on gas and just sleeping in their cars. I made a couple of loafs of sandwiches and had a case or two of bottled water and I just walked out and passed them out car to car until I was out.
Then everyone left next couple days and I couldn’t find a loaf of bread for two weeks.

To answer the question though…

do y’all think the level of attention this storm has garnered and the extent of evacuation orders being heeded by the populace is being heavily influenced by Helene’s impacts in the Carolinas?
I think the initial attention is definitely attributed to Helene. I think the attention in the past 24 hrs can be attributed due to the historical strength.

People in SFL use 75W to evacuate at times.
It makes perfect sense.

This was the issue. It definitely seemed to downplay what was happening currently. Maybe that’s not how it was intended, but that’s how it came across.
Not at all.
I’m mostly interested in the wind field of Milton and with the angle of approach if it’ll actually be able to produce the storm surge that’s being predicted. Everyone in the Tampa area that is susceptible to surge should GTFO. If Milton hits Tampa it’ll be catastrophic either way.
My point is that Milton is garnering tons of attention due to its C5 status and its run at a record for lowest pressure but it may make landfall as a C3 vs a strengthening storm through landfall not garnering as much attention such as a C1 going to C3 (yes I understand storm surge compounds upon itself and continues even after the winds die down). That’s why I was wondering how much y’all thought Helene is having an impact on the amount of attention and the extent of evacuation orders being needed right now.
Anyway, here’s the windfield expansion:
vs earlier

904.
Should be close to 180 again? Yesterday at 905 he had 180...I know not exactly a 1:1, but shouldn't be too far off.

Cindy was upgraded to a 1 sometime after she passed. Maybe even after the 2005 season ended. they still called it a TS when she it.
Hell, they didn’t even issue mandatory evacs for the bayous or Grand Isle for that one.
Ivan in 2004 is the storm you’re thinking about with the evacuations and being a false alarm (because he turned and missed NOLA).

He is bigger today than yesterday so pressure won’t translate to winds quite the same.

To which I find interesting because the wind/surge damage in Florida was not catastrophic
Helene is the worst flood event the Tampa Bay area has seen in any of our lifetimes. *knock on wood*
So yes, more people are evacuating on account of what happened 2 weeks ago.
This still would have the biggest evacuation of the west coast in a long time.

Boat and other weather historians:
How many storms have bottomed out below 900mb, weakened to 930ish then bottomed out below 900 again?
Gotta be only 1 or 2 if any

Hey, haven't seen you in many of these, but have to say I like your style (no homo).

Hurricane Cindy hit NOLA
Hit Mississippi and was a weird memory after Katrina.
I was sleeping on my GF's dad's couch which was in a beachfront house. I awoke to the porch door being open.
Like a dream, the curtains were blowing in. I get up to walk towards the door and close it.
Right when I meet the threshold, her dad meets me at the threshold from outside in his tighty whities. We scared the shite out of each other.

Gotcha. My in-laws have a mid-rise condo about mid-island around Bayfront Park, they’re not optimistic about it still being there after Milton comes through.

Woof… you’re talking about Ivan in 2004. It wasn’t a mandatory evacuation but it was a large scale evacuation of New Orleans. Ivan was always expected to turn toward Alabama but a lot of people didn’t want to take that chance.
Cindy was not hyped at all and was called a tropical storm when it made landfall. It surprised some people and was upgraded to a hurricane after the season.
A total of 0 people evacuated New Orleans for tropical storm Cindy.
