Jim Cantore
-
The standing joke down here is that when Jim Cantore shows up in town, you're fucked.
You're probably getting the eye of the hurricane. Jim has worked over 100 hurricanes, reporting live. This time, Jim was working Morgan City.
But people, this Louisiana. We're different. So let's give Mr. Cantore a memorable experience...
After doing his last report, he jumped back into their vehicle to get back to a safer spot. The vehicle wouldn't start. The Weather Channel crew always has a police escort when they're out working a hurricane and this time was no different. So the cop tells them he'll try to jump them off.
The cop turns his cruiser around, Jim pops his hood, the cop pops his and Jim gets his thrill. Laid up in the engine bay is a cottonmouth and he ain't happy. Jim isn't happy, either.
Funny, but the cottonmouth has rattles. I've never heard of it, but the cop tells Jim that the two venomous snakes can interbreed. The cop has seen this before.
So they knock the pit viper out of the way and get out of there.
Jim has covered a lot of hurricanes, but he'll remember Francine
