Thousands of TV news people are making their way to Florida to cover what will be the historic Hurricane Irma.

But, one TV newsie is packing up and leaving.

WAFF (Huntsville) 48 News Anchor Liz Hurley was in Florida for her brother's wedding. But, she found herself evacuating the state along with thousands of others on Thursday.

“This is a historic event. I have never seen anything like this in my life,” said Hurley. “And at this point in time, a lot of us are praying for this piece of paradise.”

Hurley did a live shot via Skype from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport was packed as people and pets scrambled to get out of state.

Hurley was there for her brother’s wedding, and she had a feeling the timing would be bad.

“I warned him not to have his wedding in the middle of hurricane season. So much for listening to your sister,” she joked.

But, if you're in the state already, why not stay and cover the storm? What TV news person runs from a storm?

Just asking....
