So, while the media may sensationalize, at the end of the day, real people are still being affected.

I'm sure they bought backup batteries, and generators... to recharge their cameras, other equipment and sat-comms to get the story out. (Also sure despite the mass property damage, these folks will find one of the seveely limited places to stay, and of course help use up the dwindling food/water remaning locally while waiting for the authorities/FEMA to get vital [re]supply lines up ....)

But good to know they are there because everybody wants that news to be more than 2 seconds old (satellite link delay). Oh look, another group of homeless people looking for food/shelter - no wait, over there: another upside down car, and there's that that fallen down house again...
