As all these preparations and precautionary steps are being enforced there are other vehicles on the road beside plow trucks and EMTs. They are the vehicles of TV weather crew. I regularly watch ABC News. During the worse of Hurricane Sandy, Matt Gutman of ABC’s Good Morning America was on a beach while he was pelted with waves.
Here’s a clip:
What I don’t understand is why these people are outside in these harsh conditions. I take them at their word. I do not need to see weather reporters braving the elements just so I can understand the severity of the storm. If you don’t understand the storm is bad by the figures of 1-3 feet of snow and up to 60 mile per hour winds then you are pretty dull. I don’t mean to be rude, but it’s true.
If the governor of Massachusetts and other states tell residents to stay home how are these people allowed to meander through the deserted streets?
As someone who lived through “Snowpocalypse” here in Chicago two years ago I understand the fervent fear and anticipation of this storm. I hope everyone in the East Coast stays safe. Hopefully residents of Staten Island (who still do not have power since October after Hurricane Sandy) find shelter somewhere.
May God bless you all!
Should weather reporters be allowed to enter these harsh elements just for a couple of minutes on TV?
If you live in the East Coast, are you ready for this storm?
