Um, what's wrong with this picture?

Washington Post photog Michael Williamson captured this shot as Irene bears down in the Virginia Beach area. The caption read: "Ashley Davis holds her 12-year old daughter Hunter during strong winds in Virginia Beach." QUESTION: Why, oh why, is Ashley Davis in Virginia Beach in the first place ― holding her 12-year old daughter Hunter during strong winds ― like deers caught in the headlights? Thrill-seeking? Be safe, people, not stupid. Just sayin'.
