From the article i posted in the OP.
Quote:
But Wendy Powers, a 49-year-old from Louisiana who was taking a stroll at a shopping mall with two other friends, said she hadn’t heard anything about the storm until a reporter told her about it. Still, she said she wasn’t worried.
“We had Katrina and we survived it,” Powers said. “If the one coming here is a category 1 or 2, we could have a beach party.”

Two things that jump out. She had not even heard about it and that she was going to ride it out on the beach.
