Well, if it's so dangerous, why is he standing two feet away from a seawall
obviously doing it's job! >>
Look at it from the other side. One of the most boring jobs in the world is
to be a TV weatherman or newscaster. Most of the time you do your job sitting
at a desk reading off a TelePrompter. The pay is poor and you, or one of your
colleagues has to spend every holiday in front of the camera. TV types love to
report on natural disasters. It gets them out of the studio and gives them the
impression that the are actually doing something useful. Give them a little
license to exaggerate. Actual weather is a novel experience in their hum drum
lives. Or at least that's what my TV producer daughter and TV anchor son-in-law
tell me.
