Why risk reporters lives for pictures of hurricane damage?

I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but…

Maybe they use reporters to show us they AREN’T recycling old footage from other hurricanes?
I mean, they recycle enough from the current one as it is. I was watching CNN yesterday and they played the same 10-second clip about 3 times in 5 minutes.

Today’s Medium Large seems appropriate.

The risk is way lower than they’d have you believe. I grew up in New Orleans, lived there untill I was 29, and now live again in SE Louisiana. I have seen at least ten hurricanes pass over where I was living.

Hurricanes just aren’t that big of a deal. There, I said it. Bad things happen, and worst case scenarios do come true, but by and large, a hurricane isn’t that bad.

Gah! Can’t believe my hubris.

I will say this though, as I drag the goalposts around a bit: not all hurricanes are created equal.

They’re underwater. How are you gonna drag 'em?
