Long-time Floridians and anyone with years of experience dealing with hurricanes have a bit of a joke. We don't start to worry until Jim Cantore shows up. His association with the most severe storms is so notorious that when Hurricane Michael first hit the radar, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Department issued a playful trespass warning against him.

They posted it on social media with the message: "Everyone know whats in store when Jim Cantore shows up. So we issued a little notice. lol"

Cantore showed up anyway, because that's kind of his job. Hurricane Michael was going to be one for the record books and there was no way Jim was missing it. Cantore set up shop in Panama City and began live broadcasting his coverage of the storm. Things were fine in the time leading up to the storm making landfall. They were fine for a little while once it hit. Jim is an expert at working in these storms (so much so that he managed to rescue another broadcaster when they got into trouble) and it's given him some seriously quick reflexes. They came in handy when Hurricane Michael rocketed a 2x4 at him.

Jim was broadcasting from a pool deck to showcase the powerful winds and rains of the storm. As he was talking, Hurricane Michael did what hurricanes do. A piece of debris came flying at Jim. He ducked and ran to the side, avoiding the wood that hits the fence behind him.

So what does Jim do? A wardrobe change. He switched his hat for a batting helmet and just kept right on going. Like A Boss. Of course footage started circulating around Twitter almost immediately.

People are impressed!






Even the hurricane itself tweeted about it.

But don't worry for Jim, his trusty helmet has his back:

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
