But as Schwartz’s viewers are noting, maybe it’s time for him to come inside, or at least find a less exposed spot from which to deliver his dramatic Florence updates. Schwartz, a news correspondent for NBC, has been braving the wild weather as the storm touches down on the North Carolina coast this week. His video dispatches show him in a rain-slicked jacket near palm trees and a storm-buffeted pier in the midst of the intense storm as he explains how Florence is faring as it makes landfall. Schwartz is no stranger to weather events; he’s reported previously [from Houston](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOLXh7pZsu8) in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and [from Puerto Rico](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhFaXWaJLGA) as Hurricane Maria pummeled the island. He’s not the first to endure the elements for a story, either, as there’s a history of [weather reporters](http://time.com/5003856/headless-weatherman-halloween/) sharing dramatic updates from the field as storms find their way onto U.S. shores. But it seems viewers are particularly concerned about Schwartz’s safety this time around, knowing how powerful [Hurricane Florence](http://time.com/5396372/hurricane-florence-flood-video-belhaven-north-carolina/) really is — and wanting the correspondent to survive his job. > [](https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1040317229504626688) > [](https://twitter.com/KathleenMau/status/1040397900038262794) > [](https://twitter.com/Deirdre131/status/1040398773468442625) > [](https://twitter.com/pr8311/status/1040581286660845574) > [](https://twitter.com/mark%5Fbklyn/status/1040318522432348160) > [](https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1040400268582641664) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5396600/hurricane-florence-gadi-schwartz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5396600/hurricane-florence-gadi-schwartz/"},"headline":"People Got Extremely Worried About This Dedicated Hurricane Florence Reporter","datePublished":"2018-09-14T17:15:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:54:52.228Z","description":"Gadi Schwartz is not deterred by Hurricane Florence","url":"https://time.com/5396600/hurricane-florence-gadi-schwartz/","keywords":["Newsfeed","weather","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f2b3f982a451bc6/69893a4dab6d77532e6b3ad3/screen-shot-2018-09-14-at-1-08-32-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f2b3f982a451bc6/69893a4dab6d77532e6b3ad3/screen-shot-2018-09-14-at-1-08-32-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"gadi-schwartz-nbc","caption":"","creditText":"Twitter","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5396600/hurricane-florence-gadi-schwartz/","name":"People Got Extremely Worried About This Dedicated Hurricane Florence Reporter"}}]}] ```
