I wouldn't bother wasting your breath arguing with those who think they can outsmart mother nature. I say let them assume the risk of death. It's called Darwinism, and the rest of us will be better off if they weren't around to pass on their inherently stupid genes.
I think that we should make these stubborn, defiant people sign a paper that states they've been informed about the inherent danger of staying when advised to get out for their own safety. It should then go on to state that they are are their own and there will be no help from first defenders. If, after the fact, they do require help, they should be fined a large amount of money. If they can't pay the fine, they should have to give back in community service, such as helping clean up. If they were children, they would have been reprimanded. Here's another of many, good examples of what we've created over time because of political correctness and too many attorneys willing to sue!
