The Hurricane was a terrible tragedy.

Why was he broadcasting in the middle of the water with a live mike which carries electrical current.

Is he trying to be a martyr and get electrocuted.

@jtaforJesus I love animals :) will have to see that one, one my favs is All Dogs Go to Heaven.

@brageyboy Thank you :) I am nerdy when it comes to electronics! Oops, did i just give away my age? Anyway, you should rent The Plague Dogs if you love animals. I lied though; that wasn't the last movie I saw...it is my favourite ever though for its artistry, anti-animal abuse message, and the saddest ending I have ever seen in my lifetime (and I'm 54!)

@jtaforJesus It doesn't work that way, you gotta get a closed connection for it to be dangerous. And there's tons of safety measures these days, the power is more likely to short circuit once the water gets in there. It just doesn't work that way, you've seen one too many movies. Just trust me on this, it doesn't work that way. With that said however it isn't the smart walking around there to begin with nor is it smart to have your blow drier in the bathroom.
