Note how the reporter is upset about people going out in the storm when he himself is outside right smack in it. Then again, the winds are only 50 mph (and not the 500 mph the media was telling us yesterday :)).
I noticed the report is from “The Weather Channel”. Isn’t that Heidi Cullen’s warmist outfit?

It’s worse than we thought. Reporters are in danger of being hit by small, flying, wooden objects. Video report from the dangerous frontlines of storm reporting.

This is what the AGW debate and warmists have been reduced to.
Thanks for the video link. As far as I could see, they had there typical Dutch weather.
This is getting good….Gore has gone nuts……….calls “deniers” Racists……… reporters getting harassed by young “informed” people………………………is this what the last gasp of eco-whackos looks like?……..hope so because it’s fun!
You forgot the link. Perhaps this one:

Backpedaling media: as of 19:16 (Middle European Summer Time), Welt Online features an eyewitness report from Hannes Stein (but then again, this being him, he might be unfazed by anything): “Wie New York den “Monstersturm” überlebte
… Am Ende war es dann doch ein bisschen viel Panik und ‘Schietwedder'”: “How New York survived the ‘monster storm’ – In the end, it was a bit much of panicking and ‘bad weather'”.

Looking at the video: is there no TV equivalent of the Golden Raspberry Award – maybe a “Comical Ali Prize”? This guy would be a good contender. (But then, he does not really sound hysterical, just inexperienced – more likely someone back home in the studio had whispered in his ear: “Since we don’t have tremendous images, play it up for all it’s worth”, and he picked the wrong spot for the camera. They were obviously hoping for something like this:

You know… mooning a camera crew has really become a lost art.
A longer version, with music:

Youtube starts blocking it because of “inappropriate content”.
Hmmm… Media reports reminiscent of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTb6CU3mhG0
(h/t to WUWT)
Poor old MSM. It must be depressing for them that their hyped up disasters just don’t happen.
Don’t you feel sorry for them?
The video many have “inappropriate content”, but how else are you going to prove to the world that Americans do NOT crap their pants when the weather acts up just a bit? (In contrast, Germans need only a rumor of Something Bad to indulge in that collectively).
Well, we all knew “those Yankees” are able to wreck everything, even the apocalypse. Over here, we manage things according to plan. It’s now official, according to the DWD: this summer has been too warm – and too sunny (so far at least):

I haven’t heard a single German complain that the summer was too warm. To the contrary, they all complained about how it was too cool and it rained too much. Now German leaders are telling them it was too warm!
Pierre, here’s a different take on the same DWD data:
http://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article13572780/Trueb-und-nass-der-kaelteste-Sommer-seit-1996.html
Coldest summer since 1996 (I guess “still too warm” means compared to the long time average since the trough of the LIA or something).
Or as my friends in DE would say: “what summer?”
Yet the German Weather Service says this summer in DE was…too warm!
I saw it. I was in a bar. The clapping, hooting and hollering was hilarious.
My favorite part, the girl who logged the video giggling at the end because she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
But it was excellent all together.
