Note that the forced evacuations will not include the military. The general involved has said that his people will distribute food and water. I forget if they're also helping people who want to get out.
What gets me is that I'd be very likely to be the guy in the tree that Mal describes. I've been through a number of hurricanes. By the time they get to Massachusetts, they're not force 4/5, more like topping out as force 3 or less. So I'd likely have made the same mistake as many of those people, figuring it's just more of the same and that the government was being silly. And maybe add a little paranoia to that, too. "All I have is this house! Why they tryin' ta get me to leave it?? Are they gonna plant bugs in my bathroom??"
