'It’s very strange when you’re the only one heading to the coast and the other side of the highway has bumper-to-bumper traffic.'
In my first job back in the day, whoever was the female news co-anchor also did the weather. I had done weather from the start of my career, which helped me get the job at the Weather Channel even though I wasn’t a “meteorologist”—I was a reporter who could handle weather news and such. Knowing the state of destruction that can happen with these catastrophic storms, and to be able to warn people and keep them safe, that became a calling and a mission.
did to the Gulf Coast [in 2018] was just incredible, especially around Panama City in places where entire streets were wiped out.Something I feel like has been very striking for me is how people go out with their cellphones in the middle of these storms, documenting what’s going on. Then you also see TV anchors standing in the middle of these gusty winds and rains and trying to speak into their microphones, to the camera, trying to get to viewers if they even have power.
I didn’t see it, but somebody told me Jim Cantore did get hit with a palm frond during part of his coverage. There is danger out there. I think, though, in the height of the storm reporters do take shelter, and the ones who have been doing it for a long time, it’s kind of like the military, where they know how to handle themselves in certain situations because they’re trained. I believe the Weather Channel and other professionals are conscious of the risks.
