Good evening everyone. I write this from the comfort of a warm bed with a roof over my head. That is more than some Floridians have tonight. Hurricane Irma has dealt a mighty blow to this state. Some of you reading this now, live in Florida. Many of you reading this now, have been to Florida or have friends or family that draws you to this state. Most days are picture perfect. Today was not one of them. Every time I cover a natural disaster my heart aches for those who have to live through it. Hurricane Irma is no different. People will lose their homes, their jobs, and their sanity at times. Recovery is never easy and can take a serious toll. I understand, and I empathize. After having endured the eye wall in Naples, I can honestly say that was the worst beating I've ever taken from a hurricane. I wanted to thank all of you for the kind posts and the genuine concern for my safety and my crew's safety. We had a plan in place to show you the worst of the hurricane and be as safe as possible. Mission accomplished. We are all doing quite well tonight. Some of you also voiced your concern about me standing in the hurricane unnecessarily. Trust me. I get it. My own mother gives me a hard time! The Weather Channel NEVER encourages its meteorologists to put themselves in harms way. Today we positioned ourselves in a safe location with protection for everyone, including myself. Shelter was literally 50 feet away, and if at anytime if I felt uncomfortable broadcasting, I would duck for cover. I did, in fact, at one point. We made it a point not to be around tall trees, power lines, or in an area where flying debris would be an issue. Ultimately, you never know exactly what Mother Nature will throw at you, but what I always hope to do is broadcast the weather in a way that takes you to it and lets you experience it through your TV as if you were right there next to me. And in the worst of times, I want the words that come out of my mouth to convey knowledge and also compassion. To me those are the two traits that every broadcaster should possess. Thank you for watching today. I'd like to say we'll never see one like this again, but we all know that's not true. All we can do is work at being smarter and stronger for the next one. Goodnight, and God bless those affected by Irma. MB
