Ray Nagin, the New Orleans mayor, has ordered an evacuation of the city starting early on Sunday to prepare for what he called “the mother of all storms”.

The evacuation order, which will not be physically enforced by officials, will start with the city’s low-lying West Bank starting at 1300 GMT on Sunday, followed by the East Bank at 1700 GMT, Nagin told reporters at City Hall.
