What would we do without all these on-the-scene reporters out in the middle of a deadly hurricane? Well, rest assured we’ll never have to find out. This is NBC 17 reporter Penn Holderness, leaning into the wind on the beach at Kill Devil Hills as Hurricane Irene bears down on him.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets blown away into the ocean like a rag doll. So remember kids – don’t try this at home!
DrewMTips has been venting on spectacles like this on Twitter. I think this one sums it up perfectly:
