Meteorologist Juston Drake from the Weather Channel show Storm Riders stepped out of the car for a moment to measure the wind speed during Hurricane Irma. His co-worker Simon Brewer caught some video of the moment.

Weather professionals spent several days telling everyone to leave Florida, and a couple more days telling everyone to go to a shelter and stay away from the windows. And then they go outside during the worst of the storm to broadcast.
Weather channel: don't go outside. You'll die. @weatherchannel: Reporting live from outside in middle of storm.

We could have easily done without seeing TV people put their lives in danger, but since the videos are there, you can go see a roundup of these types on on-air shenanigans at Uproxx.
