CNN's Ali Velshi goes toe-to-toe with Hurricane Sandy
As Hurricane Sandy raged last night, CNN reporter Ali Velshi battled the elements to bring viewers the latest updates. Twitter and Facebook was full of commentary. Here was some of our favourites. We especially love the shirtless dancers that made a cameo during one of his live hits.
- As Sandy raged, Velshi was a fixture on the flooded streets of New Jersey.
- Velshi even managed to keep a straight face when he was video bombed by a trio of shirtless guys.
- As his coverage wore on, people took to Twitter to call for CNN to allow him back inside. #freealivelshi was trending as the reporter was talking.
Wondering who Ali Velshi made angry at CNN. Standing is waist deep water in AC has to be worth an Emmy. #freealivelshi
No clue. I think they're trying to kill him. #freealivelshi RT @moorehn: Why does CNN have a financial host doing the weather?
K, so I think he should grab an inner tube and scream "see ya - weeeee" and call it a night #freealivelshi- I'm watching @alivelshi stand in the middle of the street in New Jersey getting tossed like a rag doll.
#AliVelshi was the #Sandy superstar yesterday on @cnn... By the time he was done he was waist deep in water #myhero http://pic.twitter.com/QF5uNTHM- Velshi even managed to score points for the red CNN-branded jacket he wore on camera.
