Not like I would follow the order if it applied to me, but do these idiots really believe people should leave the comforts of their homes to crowd into a noisy, chaotic shelter with no privacy for a little nasty weather that isn't supposed to hit until Wednesday evening?

I think the issue is if they wait until the weather is bad enough to evacuate then suddenly you have to evacuate everybody while the weather is getting steadily worse. Then you run the risk of people being stuck in their cars when the storm hits. Better to get them out sooner with some discomfort than get them out too late.

Exactly this. I've been in a small car on the road with tropical storm force winds howling around me. Not fun. Fortunately it was my choice to be out in it so I was able to just go the 3-4 miles back to my dad's house but it was still freakish. I just wanted to see what it was like to drive in those conditions and he lived out in the country. I was in a Geo Storm. 

Yes, I have done some dumb [BLEEP] in my life. Lol.
