If this looks unsafe to you, it is. WTF is he doing outside will all of this debris flying around? No big deal, just a rake going 100 mph:

"This railing which is cemented to the ground here is bending over. This wind is pushing that mental railing over,' says @JohnBerman. "It is really blowing hard here at the moment" https://t.co/AJPgPSFBMf pic.twitter.com/XGRkZR6fB6

The winds are so strong that they ripped out the metal fence behind Berman from its concrete base:

"We saw a rake out here a moment ago flying along at 100 miles per hour or so… And this is just the beginning,"says a soaked @JohnBerman in Panama City Beach, Florida, as they brace for the eye of the storm to make landfall https://t.co/AJPgPSFBMf pic.twitter.com/SmsNko0AmI
