The reason why I don't put that much blame on the mayor is because Friday night it was a cat2-3 with only a 20% chance of hitting New Orleans(we've had hurricanes with an 85% chance miss). Then Saturday afternoon it was a cat4 with the eye heading directly for us, he ordered the evacuation Sunday morning. Even if he would've done it at the moment of discovering the new info on the storm I don't think it would've mattered much because for the most part everyone that could get out did and the people left behind either didn't want to go(even though I do, it's hard to feel sorry for 'em) or couldn't go. Is there blame to be put on him? yes, but not that much imo, certainly not as much as the governor or feds.
