Covering Extreme Weather Events Makes for Exciting Television, Opportunities to Die on Live TV

Local news teams just love sending out reporters during hurricanes, tropical storms, and tornadoes to give viewers a first-hand account at what, exactly, goes in to milking Mother Nature for ratings. Eventually, as CBS' Steve Hartman notes, we're going to graduate from Geraldo Rivera slipping in a flooded street to actual injuries and, quite possibly, a reporter dying all for the sake of a live shot. But until then, sending talent into harm's way is hilarious!
