Twitter to weather guy reporting on Hurricane Florence: Get inside!

Hurricane Florence is bearing down on the Carolinas with rising floodwaters and intense winds.


Weather forecasts estimate that the Category 2 storm could dump 17 trillion gallons of rain on North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia 


But that hasn"t stopped reporters from heading into the thick of it. And people are naturally concerned for their safety, especially for MSNBC"s Gadi Schwartz, who truly is right amongst it.

The TV reporter bracing extreme weather on camera has become a cliche in recent years, but the reaction to Schwartz"s broadcasts on Florence stem more from concern than lighthearted prodding. What"s he doing out there, Twitter cried, it"s dangerous!


Schwartz is currently reporting from locations around North Carolina, including Radio Island and Beaufort. On Thursday, the seasoned reporter recorded intense live crosses soundtracked by Florence"s howling winds to the nice dry newsroom.


"It is treacherous out here, and as bad as it looks right here, we"ve actually moved locations. I"m using a building as kind of a wind block," reported Schwartz in this dramatic broadcast.

Schwartz literally says the rain is "painful," in this video, which sees the reporter in an alarmingly high wind area on Radio Island, North Carolina.


"It"s almost as if we"re in a plastic bag," he says. "This wind is extremely powerful."



Yeah, this is fine:

People posted their concern for Schwartz on Twitter, with many telling him to get the hell outta there. Many voiced anger toward MSNBC for putting him there in the first place. 






There are multiple reporters out in the field with Schwartz for MSNBC, so here"s hoping they all remain out of harm"s way.

Hurricane Florence"s center sat approximately 85 miles east-southeast of Wilmington, North Carolina, as of 8 p.m. ET Thursday. You can follow the livestream here, and check NOAA for updates.
