What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a Gulf Coast storm-making-landfall update, converging on warnings of dangerous winds, storm surge and heavy rain, with CBS, ABC and BBC all stressing preparation and impending impact. The Guardian is alone in foregrounding warnings from Louisiana to Florida and the advice to evacuate if told to do so, while the New York Times focuses more on residents weighing whether to leave or stay. Al Jazeera uniquely mentions up to 10 inches of rain, and BBC is the only outlet to note oil companies evacuating workers.
