When government officials don't scare us enough...

...it's a news anchor's job to make sure we get the message.

National Park official: "We're advising the public to stay off the beach, due to high winds and high tides."
Local News anchor: "Yeah, i know a lot of people like to get out there, and it's amazing to watch those waves, but we have seen in the past, you get a little bit too close, and a big wave that you don't expect can come in and sweep people right away, so that is a concern, and that's part of the reason that you guys have gone ahead and closed these beaches."
National Park official: "Uh, right."
