"Looters will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law" (no, actually they may be arrested, but when they go to court, the judge will admonish them and let them go with almost no punishment).
"If you stay in your home, we will not come to rescue you" (no, we will come to rescue you even though we said we wouldn't).
I'm not recommending that people ignore the authorities, but, they should understand that people know when they are being lied to. Do not insult their intelligence. Tell the truth.

Wow...
We now call the WEATHER CHANNEL liars and purveyors of fake news. The WEATHER CHANNEL.....
All you expert meteorologists should tweet your concerns and call them liars...good trend,....nobody seems to tell the truth except....
I hope all are well in the storm area, and that no local folks are hurt or killed rescuing others, like yourself, who simply know they lie and Ignored their warnings. They should have called here or visited TOTV
