Hurricane Arthur is heading towards the coast of North Carolina, and
Dean Norris, who’s there working on Under the Dome, gave us an update on it from Wrightsville Beach. The actor was almost blown away by nearly 100 mph winds, and he wasn’t going to let that stop from reporting on the news. So watch as Big Jim is almost taken down by breaking bad storm. Let’s hope he will be OK and so will everyone in the affected areas.
Now when it comes to him joking on Instagram how he is reenacting what every reporter in every storm does, I have to say he is telling the truth. As someone, who worked in hard news and covered my fair share of Hurricanes, I can tell you it is a trick of the trade. The reporters have to make good television and reporters getting faces full of rain and sand is really good television. I should add, they are not faking the weather, but they put themselves in areas closer to the water where the wind is stronger rather than reporting from inland.
Finally back to Norris, if this acting thing doesn’t work out for one of television’s greatest actors, at least he has a future at the Weather Channel. Don’t you agree?
