Yep @kmakm , my half brother was up there living in a caravan, got pished and missed all the alerts. First he knew about it was when the caravan exploded--he thought someone had driven a truck through it.
Some of the stories about the subsequent evacuation and clean up were definitely suppressed. There was some fairly vigorous persuasive tactics employed on anyone who didn't do what they were told without argument. He ended up in the slammer--not for the first or last time--but it was a bit of a worry when we couldn't find out where he was for weeks.
