Al Roker's Fans Still Concerned for His Safety Amid Hurricane Ida Reporting
08/31/2021 12:22 am EDT
Despite Roker's assurances that he is still the man for the job, Twitter was full of people expressing their concern.
"Why y'all got Al Roker out here doing the Tempest. Let the man sit down and dry off, please," tweeted author R. Eric Thomas.
"Are we really still forcing Al Roker to stand in the middle of a lethal hurricane??" tweeted another concerned fan. "The man is a national treasure, how about we stop risking his life to have him tell us it's too dangerous to be out there."
"If someone could please go get Al Roker and bring him to safety, that'd be great," tweeted another viewer.
"It's 2021. I don't need to see Al Roker risking his life and his crew's lives to show me a hurricane. It can be reported on without standing outside in the middle of it," another fan tweeted succinctly.
"This is ridiculous, it's stunt theater — get him inside or we're gonna watch Al Roker get vacuumed out to sea," tweeted writer Chuck Wendig.
"Why y'all send Al Roker old ass to the middle of that hurricane? My momma called me about it and everything," another Twitter user wrote.
