I’ve covered dozens of hurricanes including Sandy, Hugo, Rita, Maria and terrible Katrina, whose 15th anniversary we grimly commemorated Saturday.

TRUMP TOURS HURRICANE LAURA STORM DAMAGE, PLEDGES SUPPORTAs in war, the intrepid or reckless or fearless reporters try to get as close to the expected action as possible.
