However, if you are doing a weather report in an area where the storm is not that bad at the moment, and you are in Virginia… you can expect rednecks… and expect them to get NEKKID!

After everything we’ve seen in the past decade, it’s hard not to worry at least a little bit that a major natural disaster could strike where you live.
