Don't people understand that we're 300 miles from the ocean?

The management company that owns the office building that I work in sent out an email to us in true CYA fashion regarding the approaching hurricane Ike. Here is the text of the email:

As of right now, Austin is expected to experience high winds and heavy rains as a result of Hurricane Ike. Hurricanes, though, can change direction and speed over time. I suggest that individuals take whatever precautions they deem appropriate to keep themselves safe.

It is also recommended that companies turn off and unplug computers, telecommunications equipment, office equipment and appliances to protect from power surges and/or loss of power.

If anyone is at work and a storm hits the area, they should proceed (using stairwells, not elevators) to the lowest level of the building. They should go the center of the building, away from windows, crouch down low and protect their head and neck with their hands.
