sadly, I am afraid, it is going to take a serious injury before anything changes. I mean, really, I have not seen a "report from the eye" that ever enlightened me. The only thing that might be interesting is seeing the actual eye of the storm, but that would probably be done best with a time-lapsed camera if it could survive it.
I wonder if that guy that got hit will be in the middle of the next one......
Oh, and another thing.....don't you suppose they must carry some sort of insurance to cover the whole deal, and that it must be REALLY expensive?
