Stop putting reporters in the rain for dramatic effect. It looks silly.

I love our American tradition of getting a reporter on the ground in the middle of every severe weather event

“Officials are saying they’re concerned more people did not evacuate.”

We ain’t moving unless it’s at least category 3.

Actually, Texas is very lucky that this hurricane is only a category one. The storm surge is going to be the biggest hazard with this storm.

If it's life threatening then why you outside

[galstreasureu]

♥️♥️♥️ to the people being affected in the areas of Texas. Stay Safe.

Why do you guys insist on having people stand out in these storms?
It's unnecessary and unsafe for the journalist. Just grab a camera feed and let your employees stay safe inside.

They send their reporters into the eye of the storm and ask them to take care. 😐🤔

So dangerous we’re outside in the rain, media gotta make it scary.

[Chuck-jsdy]

A hurricane during hurricane season, has this ever happened before

[angelsgti]

As someone from Florida. Stop being dramatic, Category 1 is far from life threatening lol.

[celan]

Why does watching this give me the craziest deja vu ive ever felt

[kimfxer]

My beloved city of Houston - be safe and God take control of this city.

[PrincessCashmonie]

[ALEEtile]

Stay safe everyone down south. God Bless!

[richard_M]

He could never try that sort of reporting in Jamaica where it was a Cat4 Hurricane 😢

We can all find solace in the fact that this is gods will.
