Hurricane Ida Intensifies As Category 4 Hurricane, Sustained Winds Hit 155 mph
Never turn your back on the ocean!
Growing up in SF ❤️🌹 I learned that real early in life
Well.. its half way kinda. The camera man needs a running chance too lol
or a lib/Democrat.
I know it’s great TV but seriously, he’s in danger!
nah he will be ok
Relax he’s safe it’s only a green screen
Lol
@Pac Man Lmao I wouldn’t be surprised
No danger just a little wind and rain!
Come on man…. Al’s too old to be puttin him out in that stuff! Jeez
He likes the attention and his weight lose
@Joni Beehive al is fully 💉 and a brave soul charged with bringing ppl critically important information about their homes and towns… should we close our eyes and wait til the storm passes? Al has probably already jetted out of there anyway
That’s total malarkey
@nj649 LOL
@kinipela Haha. Yup. I saw that on Twitter. He wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now. 😄👍
evacuate. Al “do as we say not as we do” you’re too old for this, get out.
Stop telling people they are “too old” for stuff. Backhanded compliment
@Lucas Compliment?!
Isn’t that their favorite quote tho?!
If you’re make someone stand that close, at least give them a life jacket! Scary! We love you, LA from NM.💖
They placed him in front of barriers without threat of the surge, and by the gate, blowing inwards away from the water he does not need one
Some people know how to swim in inclement weather. I guess you are not one of those people so you don’t get it.
And people can still drown in life jackets.
People can drown in two inches of water if they pass out face down.
Life jacket ain’t gonna do nothin.
🙄
Al might need that 100lb he lost if that gale picks up, just to stay put 🙂
🤣🤣🤣 I literally thought the same thing!
AL IS A CATEGORY 6 METEOROLOGIST !
❤❤
They stay putting Al Roker in danger. Its just not right. Retire Al. Lol
Msnbc racist trying to get rid of black people by putting them in danger
Because hes black its ok
🙄🙄It’s his job. That means he volunteered.
🤣
He’s a reporter and loves reporting and loves this
Why do they send reporters into a hurricane? Makes no sense.
it’s safe
Because it makes for great TV. All bout da ratings
@Terry Goodrich I think you have the presidents mixed up. FAKING stuff is Biden
@Suzan David yes like a car wreck u know you shouldn’t look but just can’t help it
The real reason is, dumb ppl wont take things serious if they cant see it with their eyes.
Thats why they have helicopters in the air, and cameras aimed at tornadoes.
Its simply to make ppl understand how serious things is.
I guess when you making $5 million a year, you will stand in the middle of any storm.
ill stand in dog poop during a psunami
@Ninef Sargis : LOL….. You got that right. I’ll be standing there too holding the camera.
I would!
Yeah, it’s called having no standards
@Ninef Sargis 😂😂😂
I’m just amazed how clear the reporters voice is amidst the wind. I want that mic.
Stupid..lol..jk
@Rebellc my sister is currently experiencing the storm and its 100% Real
I want that zoom background
Definitely a nice vocal mix.
Call the shotgun microphone
Jeez NBC, Al’s 67 years old. Do you really want him on combat duty STILL??? The guy has put in his time! Give him some cushier assignments!
@LemonDrop I’m 67, we’re not as frail as you think!
Ck Twitter. There’s a vid of him saying “screw you” to anyone who thinks he’s too old for this. 👍
@bchlovr Yes, no disrespect to seniors, my dad is the same age and he likes to do crazy things too, while we’re hiking. But you don’t have the body of a 20 year old. You have to be careful.
He’s in a movie studio 🤣😂
@Sharon H Exactly
Al straight being a thug!! Water bearing his a*s and he still standing!! Thug life 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Wonder how many rocks he has in his pocket to hold him down😂🤣 he very well could get washed out to the Atlantic
Yeah that’s what I’m saying! Everyone is like “why did they put him there” I guarantee that Al wanted this job. His is a legend.
Imagine if he live streamed at that location through the whole storm.
Geraldo Rivera did that once….
Yes! Reality TV show called ‘Eye of the Storm.’ 12 suicidal people near a hurricane, each with camera. The last one to survive gets helicoptered out, wins money, and hopefully a new perspective to live.
Really, you put Al out there? Shame on y’all.
@ShadyDroski ???
He wants to!
Al wanted to do that!
@Mz Baton Rouge beauty did you go to Boosie Bash?
@sharon olsen I agree with you..
Really, how far will MSNBC go for ratings? Al Roker needs to come in out of the storm 🙏🙄🤗🇺🇸
How stupid!🙄
He just wants to be like Jim Cantoire
IKR!
Oh puhleeez. These media freaks love to cause fear 24/7. He’s in his element
@Tayla G yeah because a cat 4 hurricane isn’t something to be legitimately fearful of
That is one serious noise cancelling microphone he has. That wind is blowing fast but you can barely hear it! Amazing!
They ALL use AirPod PROs.
I can’t even pay attention to his report between the comical nature and dangerous nature of his location. Why is this necessary? You can give shots of the storm conditions without putting a human being in such stupid conditions!
But that doesn’t get ratings
@Tayla G I don’t think people are tuning in to see that, we’re watching the storm not the reporters!
NWS: “Everyone in the lower parts of Louisiana must evacuate.”
Maga: “Yeah! Everyone get to safety!”
CDC: “Everyone should get the vaccine or wear masks.”
Maga: “Over my dead body!”
Corona: “OK!”
Oh btw jus saw on Bloomberg news, the largest real world study out of Israel, natural immunity is 13x more effective than the vaccine …. So have fun with your vaccine 😂
@WhoKnows 🤣😅😅🤣😅😅🤣😅😅🤣🤣😅😅🤣😅
Stay scared cupcake
Ida, I’ m with you Corona if you need more help.😀
I was ginuely worried for his life at one point. Please be careful Al!
