Yes, it's a huge task to move that many people but a hurricane is not a surprise.
I'm curious as to where you got your fact that people knew about the storm for well over a week. Apparently you know more than the National Hurricane Center.
The storm hit the coast on Friday. Two days previous on Wednesday the wind speed was 35 mph. It would be very tough to convince millions of people to evacuate given what was known on Wednesday. At that point the public was warned of possible hurricane conditions. Keep in mind that assuming you can get those people to move, you also need a place to put them all.
The real surprise was how quickly the storm intensified the day before it hit the coast, which was why more didn't evacuate.
