How did Mike Siedel of the Weather Channel legally travel to Cuba to cover this event. Isn’t there a federal ban on citizens traveling to that Communist state?

My understanding is that the 'land of the free' doesn't allow direct flights to the island, so people have to fly to Canada, then to Cuba. That'll show'em!

Exactly my question. Probably flew to another country, then to Cuba. That's the "how." But I sure would like to know the HOW...

Journalists can legally travel to Cuba on a visa with the Cuban Interest Section in Washington, D.C.

Not for journalists, academics, congressmen and senators, religious groups.
