When things are repeated by the Lord and His Servants it may be something to pay close attention to.

Henry B, Eyring, “Finding Safety in Counsel” April 1997 General Conference
This whole talk is about following the prophet. It starts by talking about the warnings of the prophets, standing on safe ground, having listening ears and reaching out to others. The very last paragraph of the talk says:
"We are blessed to live in a time when the priesthood keys are on the earth. We are blessed to know where to look and how to listen for the voice that will fulfill the promise of the Lord that He will gather us to safety. I pray that we will have humble hearts, that we will listen, that we will pray, and that we will wait for the deliverance of the Lord that is sure to come as we are faithful."
Interesting enough he refers to Haun's Mill in this talk
and many other things. I would highly recommend that you carefully read it. At Haun’s Mill, Joseph Smith warned the saints
to leave when there was no danger in sight or seen. Those who heeded the prophets warning immediately
left and lived to tell about it.
Everyone who didn’t listen died.
President
Eyring in one of the Priesthood Sessions said, "This is the third time I am repeating this
scripture...always remember with me when I repeat something it is not boredom
but inspiration...because the fact is, if I was told to do this again it must
matter." (Taken
from the notes of a LDS priesthood holder in attendance who always takes
notes. Remember they add information in
at the pulpit that does not get into the written or audio talks.)
Familiarize
yourself with the story of the saints in Haun’s Mill. First, the saints did not listen to the
prophet, and then they were deceived by the mill’s owner. The saints asked the owner to have his
messenger ask the prophet whether they should stay at the mill, and the prophet
said to leave the mill and return to Far West, but the messenger lied to them
and said the prophet said to stay and they would be fine. Then, they were all massacred by a mob in
disguise, who arrived under the guise of bringing a peacekeeping treaty to
coexist. Their technique was to say, for
your own safety and welfare, and as a sign of cooperation with us (the local
leaders), hand over your arms. The
majority did, and the mob massacred everyone including the women and
children.
