Reporters sometimes amaze me. Rushing headlong into the storm to report what it's like.
"OMG honey, turn on the tv!! The wind is blowing REALLY HARD!! And LOOK!!! There's a LOT of RAIN!!!!"
Every channel has the same theme. Someone standing outside the hotel with a cameraman (who I bet is wishing they were inside) during the storm and getting tossed about...
Growing up here in the coastal area of the Southeast, we are hit with about two good storms a year. So Here's a tip for reporters.
We get it that it is really windy. We get it that it is raining really hard. We get it that debris is being blown around
I remember what the comedian Ron White had to say about hurricanes..
"Its not THAT the wind is blowing. Its WHAT the wind is blowing. If you get hit with a Volvo, I don't care how many pushups you did that morning, that is gonna leave a mark".
Personally, I feel they need to turn the cameras off, wait for the storm to pass, then lend a hand with the cleanup.
Just tossin' out my 2 pennies.
