Why do they feel the need to stand outside in this? We can see the wind and rain

[Godsandonly]

Lester Holt please get to safety. You don't have to be in the storm to report on the storm. NBC do better!

[rakialogan]

Thank you news reporters for being safe while reporting for us 🙏🗳️💙

2 Hurricanes plus 23 tornados!!! This is one for the history books. Oh my god!!!!

[SayItAintTso]

One thing I’ve always wondered is why news stations send their VIPs into dangerous storm conditions. We know it’s a bad storm. They can get their point across without doing that.

[hopscotchcn]

It's amazing how they can communicate & photograph to broadcast during this kind of extreme weather.

[GlennHeston]

Is it really necessary to be IN the storm to report it!?
And not only that, but do you need reporters in 2 places in the same city

[purijogarcia]

You guys are very brave to be in the eye of the storm just to bring us the news; please be safe!

[Just.Ashley.S]

Y’all really have your most seasoned news anchors out in these dangerous hurricane streets to report the news in 2024 with all this technology at our disposal. That’s crazy work.

[bevnelson]

Praying for Florida 🙏 please be safe 🙏

[jovialaultra]

Thank you for your reporting. Amazing to see that calm right inside the eye of the storm!

[supersally]

It’s a phenomenal experience to be in the eye of the storm, especially when you are praying for the storm to be calm and actually speak into it! But now, we are experiencing exactly the winds from the opposite direction but stronger 🙏 keep on praying and praising the Lord, in the midst of the hurricane 🌀 and storms 🌪️

[ignaciopaulito]

Thank you, Lester, for still anchoring the Nightly News even while in the rain!

[pauloszetarinielli]

Glad it got lowered to Cat 3 but 120 mph isn't much solace, be careful!!

[on_mars]

This is really genuine media I believe. Please be safe Lester Holt. I admire your professional attitude to deliver news.

[juliepietruszka]
