RE: news stations / reporters, etc.

I was wondering what decisions the news organizations are making about their satellite trucks. I guess the reporters can hightail it to hotels, etc to get high enough off the ground. But those trucks cost beaucoup bucks - what are they going to do about them?

In this situation, they can consider the trucks expendable. The advertising revenue from the increased viewership has already paid for a fleet of them. The reporters they can evacuate by helicopter
