With Hurricane Isaac brewing in the gulf I headed to Gulfport, MS for NBC.\u00a0 I was excited to be covering another hurricane.\u00a0 I certainly learned a lot from Hurricane Irene last year, which helped me prepare for this latest storm.\u00a0 Armed with a HDX 900, I got to work.<\/p>\n I spent the first day on the beach all day.\u00a0 I know, I know, hard gig, right?\u00a0 We were ready for live hits by 5am.\u00a0 Our correspondent was NBC\u2019s Thanh Truong.\u00a0 Since the storm was still a day away we barely did any hits.<\/p>\n The next day things started to pick-up, as we became the \u201ctape\u201d crew.\u00a0 We shot a story on locals preparing their boats for the storm.\u00a0 Afterwards we fed the tape and then were put on stand by till the storm hit.\u00a0 Flooding happened almost immediately.\u00a0 We shot b-roll of the roads flooding and the National Guard tending to local\u2019s needs.\u00a0 Later in the day we shot a press conference with Mississippi governor, Phil Bryant.\u00a0 After feeding more time we were cut for the day.\u00a0 Tomorrow is when things would really get interesting.<\/p>\n Wind speeds picked up as Isaac officially made landfall in the middle of the night.\u00a0 The following morning we went out and scoped for damage.\u00a0 We then went over to an animal shelter and shot a piece on the shelter.\u00a0 After feeding tape we went back out and shot more damage footage.\u00a0 A tornado had just touched down a few blocks away from us so things definitely got a little intense.\u00a0 Houses without roofs and crushed cars were easy to find.\u00a0 We then followed local police as they made their rounds through the neighborhood making sure everyone was OK.<\/p>\n After a long day of covering the storm things started to settle down.\u00a0 Eventually we were \u201cgood nighted\u201d and packed up.\u00a0 Both my audio guy and I had shoots the next day so we had to leave Gulfport that night and head back to Nashville.\u00a0 We had a great time in Gulfport.\u00a0 We got some great footage for NBC and even more importantly we made it back to Nashville safely.\u00a0 As always, I look forward to the next big storm.<\/p>\n With Hurricane Isaac brewing in the gulf I headed to Gulfport, MS for NBC.\u00a0 I was excited to be covering another hurricane.\u00a0 I certainly learned a lot from Hurricane Irene last year, which helped me prepare for this latest storm.\u00a0 Armed with a HDX 900, I got to work.
