Sometimes the reporter-in-danger visuals are absurd and downright dangerous. I remember the Al Roker incident and looked it up. It happened during Hurricane Wilma in 2010 (another website said 2005) when Roker was a well-known weather reporter for the Today Show. I remember he couldn't fight the rain and wind. Despite being quite overweight at the time, the wind was just carrying him off and he needed help to be brought back indoors. It was ridiculous to have put him in the middle of such a dangerous situation.
