The Weather Channel is sending a team of people into the path of Felix, currently a category 5 storm.
Is it just me, or are they looking for the big one? I think they want their people to die in the middle of holding up a portable anemometer to test the wind speed when a piece of debris smacks them right in the head, all caught on camera.
I might have to laugh when that happens. Stupid freaks.
“You can see the trees are really blowing over here, and the rain is like being stung by a bee…. blah blah blah blah blah.. ”
Surely they’ve signed their lives away to be put in the path of the storm. But doesn’t someone have to make that sacrifice to better our understanding and knowledge of storms like that and weather in general? I think so. Good luck to those people. I’m just glad I’m nowhere near it!

Rumer has it this has already happened to a guy in Florida, but they won’t release the tape (must be saving it for Faces of Death 67). Actually, they always send Jim Cantore to where the storm is heading and then it veers off at the last second, saving the town from destruction. If a bad storm was coming, I’d have the mayor call the Weather Channel and BEG them to send Jim to my town, LOL.

They take reasonable precautions, and really don’t face as much danger as it looks. I’d feel much safer if I were sent to report on the passage of a hurricane than if I were sent to report on a break-dancing contest in East L.A.
