Crazy Reporter of the Day in Nola

I didn't see Anderson Cooper do anything slightly nuts during this hurricane. (Damn) But Brian Andrews from WFOR takes the cake (he's been on WWL's live streaming coverage here.) A pretty accurate description of his foray onto Canal Street in the middle of the storm is detailed here. Even I think he was absolutely insane, but it was damn good TV.

EDIT: The guy who ran out into water that was almost as deep as the overpass was high to save a stranded motorist wins #2. Gets extra points for being a Good Samaritan, but still #2.

In other news, Tennessee will probably get our first tropical storm in many years overnight. Make sure to keep an eye on NashvilleWX.com and WKRN.com's special section for the latest. /shameless pimp

I think you'd have to have a good sense of humor to stay out and cover a huge storm like this one. That and the ability to dodge things quickly...
