How do I persuade my relatives to seek shelter from Hurricane Irma?

My grandmother, aunt, uncle, step-uncle and cousin are bunkered in their house in Miami, 4 blocks away from the ocean. My mom and dad have pleaded with them numerous times to leave, but they’re all extremely stubborn. We’ve told them every fact about Irma, and that they’ll most likely get 10 feet of water into their house from the storm surge, and there’s a chance they good get swept away. Yet they seem not to care. My cousin is extremely intelligent so I’m shocked that he hasn’t persuaded them to at least seek a shelter that’s futher away from the coast. I haven’t contacted any of them personally. Is there even any reason to still persuade them to leave? Or should I just let it be and hope for the best?
Sorry this question is more of an outlet of my frustration.
