All eyes on hurricane season’s latest fashions

Ballcap with a logo:  guilty.  Reporting from an actual hurricane:  guilty. 

It’s not a storm of controversy, but it’s very talked about. 

One of our commenters, Big Daddy, wrote, ”Why must all talking heads venture out in hurricanes wearing the obligatory logo-ed ballcap and windbreaker? It’s just so chiché! I would still watch if they stayed indoors, and respect them more for their common sense.”

So, here we have two issues.  Fashion and whether news crews should be reporting so close to or in a hurricane.   What should we wear while reporting in a storm (how about a John Deere getuup instead) and how close to the storm do you want to see pictures and get information?

Thanks for the topic, Big Daddy.
