He said this last night in his coverage of the storm about the people who decided not to evacuate and ride out the storm - while he was standing right where the storm was coming. What a showboat.

He had a bicycle helmet.

Homeowners may not have had a bicycle helmet.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Watching some footage of Cantore from last night, he had on a SWAT helmet. Stepping up his game for the big one.

I think he is referring to people who stayed in places like Cameron, that were unquestionably going to be under water. At least where he was they were pretty safe from the worst storm surge.

He also said people should listen to “us, we know what we’re doing with these storms”.

Dude, you frickers have been so wrong for so long you can’t even tell the difference anymore. No doubt you guys know more about the science now, but don’t act like you folks have this on lock. Look at Marco.

I doubt it. People like him revel in the glory of "look at me".

I'm sick and tired of militarized weather reporters. We need to defund the Weather Channel right now!

With a clear path to higher ground in a very sturdy, recently constructed building.

Say what you want to about the media... but I'm pretty sure Cantore knows what he's doing.

So what happened to those people? Did they survive the “unsurvivable storm surge”? The weather channel does come across as the “boy who cried Wolf” pretty often.

He was wearing a black vest, like a bullet proof vest of some sort I’m sure to protect from flying debris. He was ready for a riot.
