So, a hurricane is hitting Southern California, and your first thought is to smile and take a selfie.

While this might seem “fun” for you, covering your first hurricane and all, let me tell you, as someone that has covered more hurricanes than I can count, it is serious stuff.

With this hurricane, we are looking at possibly historic rainfall amounts, widespread flooding as I write this story. There is no doubt that people will suffer property damage and lives will be impacted.

This is the shit you should think about before pointing the camera at your smiling face as severe weather approaches.
