What was your favortie live report in a hurricane?

[Anonymous]

What was your favorite live report on TWC in a hurricane? My favorites were:

Jim Cantore-Hollywood, FL (Hurricane Irene)

Jeff Morrow-New Iberia, LA (Hurricane Lili)

Mike Seidel-Virginia Beach, VA (Hurricane Isabel)

Kristin Dodd, Bill Keneely, and Carl Parker are tough ones.

Well I saw Mike Seidel being driven by the wind and fall to the ground when he was with Brian Williams reporting so I have to go with that one.

I wonder what that gust of wind was to.....

Some much better than you mentioned:

1. Dan Rather at Panama City Beach during Hurricane Opal. Can actually see the surge destroying structures in the live report (video quality is horrible due to the major hurricane conditions)

2. Jeff Flock at Carolina Beach duing Bertha. Large pieces of debris flying by (garage doors and larger)

3. Jim Cantore at Wrightsville Beach during Fran. Another coastal major hurricane live report

Kristin Dodd, Bill Keneely, and Carl Parker are tough ones.

I've never seen Carl Parker reporting live in a tropical storm or hurricane.

Jim Leonard's Storm Surge video and realizing that he was getting way too over his head

also Jim Leonard's Hugo footage in Puerto Rico in the hotel room hallway and rooftop shot (with howling rains and winds).

Carl Parker was in Bret I know, and Georges I think.
BTW, where did Jim Cantore cover Georges and Mitch from?

Mine came from a local perspective. We had a reporter named Angela Goss who used to work for Channel 6 here.

She was hanging on for dear life just about to a building during Hurricane Floyd's closest approach here in Florida.

Another 1 was earlier in the day when another reporter named Todd Jurkowski was standing on the beach when a section of the Daytona Beach Pier got swept away.

I had no idea Floyd's winds were THAT strong in Florida. Florida REALLY, REALLY got lucky.

Jim Cantore rules!!

I wonder why he is sometimes called out to cover the small storms, and not the big. Like he was sent to cover Dennis from Wilmington, but not Bret....

Jim was near Biloxi for Georges and in SW FL...for the shadow of Mitch....His Bonnie live shots in 98 were probably his best IMO.

One of the coolest live shots I saw was Jeff Flock near Gulf Shores, AL during Hurricane Danny in 97...he was between two buildings right next to the Ocean and the camera was in an underwater housing, the shots were more intense than most anything I have seen from network TV....Kristin was on a porch and was getting tossed around but the effect was not as good...

I agree with Stormsfury on the Jim Leonard storm surge video in Guam...Leonard and his compadres also shot amazing stuff of Gilbert hitting the Yucatan as a Cat 5 in 88...

[Josephine96]

Yes.. Floyd was that strong along the coast here. It got kinda scary for them.

Supertyphoon Yuri in Guam, that's right. Thanks for jarring a refresher in my mind. I forgot about that footage during Gilbert as well .. very compelling stuff. I don't know if Jim got any footage of Hugo in CHS (doubt it since it was dark) but he recorded something like a 934 mb pressure on Savannah Highway (US HWY 17) in CHS (handheld) as the eye came ashore.

Gee....just stick to the poll question, he didnt ask for all this...LOL
I liked Seidel in Va Beach as well

Who is Jeff Flock. That name is familier.

[cycloneye]

Jeff Flock is a reporter at CNN who likes to cover hurricane landfalls.
