Storm Fools

I love it when the CNN reporter is telling people to get off the beach at St. Augustine in the midst of tropical storm Fay, and giving the excuse that he "has to be" out there.

Since when was it an absolute necessity for the viewing public to see some guy getting pelted by rain and blown by wind to tell us that it's stormy outside? I am quite certain I'd get the picture with a bit of footage shot through a window.

The nerve and hypocrisy of it all just irks me.
