I think they are planning against the possibility that the hurricane is hitting something on Monday — it would dominate the news, and the media would love to show people suffering from a hurricane while the GOP is “partying” at their convention.

Well, you're right, of course. But McCain had to shorten his convention because of a hurricane (over a thousand miles away,) too. The conventions are held in hurricane season -- sooner or later, this fear of the media has to stop.
