Okay, now this is so stupid. I was watching CNN, and they had some local affiliate out on a street trying to report on how bad the wind is. He's getting knocked down (twice), has trouble getting up, and desperately trying to seek shelter from the wind by a building.

My one question is this - so what's going on with the cameraman? Did he tether himself to the ground so that the shot would be steady? My guess is that he was filming the poor reporter from a window, trying not to laugh his ass off.
