The media keeps saying that the beach is a very dangerous place to be, but they always have reporters standing on the "dangerous" beach with a camera.
And, how many times do the weather experts say that this could be the worst storm ever?
Why not just be honest and tell the people the truth?

Our oldest home on barrier island, Leo knocked on door, gave them 10 minutes, mandatory evacuation now. Last hurricane could not get past gates for 11 days. Still waiting to return from this hurricane.
