Just shameless stuff. And all done on the altar ofr the false religion that hurricanes are caused by "climate change".
As a Florida resident and one who has endured his share of tropical tempests, I am forever baffled by the need for reporters to go out and report live inside a hurricane. What is actually served in these self-aggrandizing segments? Nobody is confused by the reality that a hurricane is bad weather; there is no need to go out and subject yourself to those elements on camera.
But out of the crowd of these meteorological martyrs, one name stands out – Jim Cantore. The Weather Channel's star storm chaser is so renowned that people know they are screwed when he arrives to do a remote in their location. However, while getting pummeled by intense winds for a live spot yesterday, Jim was undone by some on-site distractions.
There are a number of times reporters have been exposed as over-dramatizing hurricane effects. There was Anderson Cooper reporting from a flooded ditch while his camera crew was standing in ankle-deep water. Then there was the "Today Show" reporter supposedly piloting a canoe in a huge flood when two residents walked into frame, trudging through her puddle. Now, Cantore has his own moment.
While he was well away from the camera, Cantore, with a protective baseball helmet, was giving a live report while being assaulted by fierce winds, barely able to remain standing. However, what he had done was find a narrow alley that was channeling the wind. We know this because, during a couple of his segments, some of the emergency electrical crews trotted into frame and were performing cartwheels in the supposedly oppressive conditions.
