7. Oh God

here in Texas, if we ever get ICE, they stand outside and (I KID YOU NOT) they hold the microphone down to the ice and hit it with their other hand so we can HEAR HOW HARD IT IS.

Nope, I am not shitting you.

12. Today was especially entertaining

Every few seconds the camera person had to reach around and wipe off the lense because it was raining so hard.
