State of evacuation

Is it just me, or in light of Katrina are we seeing more states declaring mandatory evacuations to be on the safe side?

Florida won't be hit by Rita for at least a couple of days, and even then it's only expected to be a Category One Hurricane.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just wondering if Governors are quicker to pull the trigger in the face of the disaster that was Katrina.
