Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

That sounds like a bad idea. People tend to hyper focus on certain details in fictional stories while ignoring other elements that tie the story together. It leads to an interpretation that differs greatly from the author's true message.
