Letter: Everyone should avoid hurricanes, even the media

Although everyone can sympathize with the victims of hurricanes and other natural disasters, do we really need to watch people from the various stations standing there getting soaked and risking their own lives? Seems crazy to me.

Find a safe place indoors and shows your live shots from there. Hopefully none of these people will get seriously injured or killed before this common-sense change is made.
