Any news channel without some fool broadcasting in the wind and rain?
Literally insane. MSNBC, CNN, FOX, Weather Channel, everything streaming I find, some damn fool with a mic is standing in the storm talking about how stormy it is. When did this become a good idea? Especially when the whole point is to evacuate or hunker down, avoid flying objects and other nasty elements. Broadcasting exactly what we shouldn't be doing. I'd rather an indoor meteorologist showing me some good radar maps and projections, not watch some idiot getting pelted by wind and water and saying nothing.

He was broadcasting from the studio in his shirtsleeves, consulting with the weather experts interpreting radar and maps. There was some pretty harrowing storm footage, however, showing rescues, the high water and wind and some cool classic cars trying to maneuver in the flooded streets. Apparently cameramen did risk life and limb getting that footage. They said this was the first "public service" broadcast of its kind and they won awards for it, very cool even though Dan Rather never got wet. 
Frankly as we're sitting here in North Florida waiting for the storm to hit us in the early morning hours tonight, some of this is comic relief. Watchig poor Mike Bettis getting slammed around, and then spreading his arms in triumph at surviving the first eye wall is amusing for those of us who will NOT be out in those damn winds.
...of seeing a field reporter carried away by the wind to her or his death.
