Saying it louder for the news managers in the back (from the POV of a meteorologist):

Putting reporters/meteorologist out in the worst of the worst of the storm's passage while the winds are buffering the person around and whistling past the microphone turns your "coverage" ultimately useless.
You hear more of the wind, not the reporter's voice. Debris flying by could cause injuries (or worse). One day someone is going to get killed on live TV and you won't be able to shrug that off.
