Now we're getting to the stage of the hurricane where you fear for the lives of the reporters

who are standing out in the storm talking about it.

Is it dedication or foolishness?

I've always assumed they were out there trying to repeat the Dan Rather effect ...

https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/06/17/ken-footes-radiotv-files-dan-rather-how-hurricane-coverage-paid-off/

Rather saw this news event as a way to make his mark as a reporter and he did. Out in the storm at its worst and risking his own personal safety, Rather reported to Houstonians what was happening. His coverage of this news event caught the attention of CBS News executives in New York. By 1962, Rather joined CBS News.
