Common Sense? Not so Common

Riddle me this...
They were just showing a video on tv of 2 reporters getting blown away because they were reporting from a blizzard...
Now when there is a hurricane, blizzard, or any other bad weather going on, why do they feel the need to STAND IN IT?? They can't just show video out a window or something?
Haha... I wonder if they have higher insurance premiums....
Is there a special class that only meteorologists go to: 
High Winds 101...
Derp....
