Why did this CNN weatherman have a meltdown during Hurricane Katrina coverage?

Hurricane Katrina is certainly causing a lot of crazy TV.

He screams: "Let me talk Carol!"

Chad then throws his "papers" down. I think he needs a time out

I love it when news people lose their cool. :rofl:

We saw that! :rofl:

She handled it well; simply commenting that nerves are frayed or something similar.

I couldn't believe it. He really lost it!

 

[hypatia]

OMG that was so funny!

:rofl: I loved the comment about his own beach house on the Florida coast. He was "missed" by the hurricanes...yes, for this year he was. This man is absolutely cold, as if the residents of New Orleans should be held responsible for this hurricane. Whatever happened to the unity of our country?

Yes I watched the Fred Barnes round table discussion too... I don't know, I think with thousands of hours of broadcasting, people are bound to slip up now and then.

But back to the weatherman, I woulda slapped the crap outta her nagging mouth if she talked to me like that lol...

Chad Myers is usually cool.

I'd totally curse if I was the weatherman at 'Carol'. I mean gee wiz, don't you need a college degree to work as a newsman these days? You can't be that stupid!

Drat, I can't find any pictures or video. Last year during Charely, there was this one local reporter out in the storm who was going crazy, being blown all over the place, soaked to the bone, a palm tree fell and almost crushed him, etc. And the whole time he kept talking about his stupid safety goggles! You know, goggles to keep water and such out of your eyes, as you wear in a pool. He's being blown across the parking lot, but "it's a good thing I have my safety goggles on!" Every five minutes - "These goggles are keeping the rain out my eyes... good thing I have my goggles on..." :rofl: He wore the goggles for Frances too. :rofl:
Okay, I found one picture of him during Charley. You can't see the goggles from here, but trust me, he's wearing them!
