Buy Chad Bridges a Beer

During Hurricane Matthew, when most sensible people ran for the hills, one man defied the mandatory evacuation order and stayed put in the faceb of what many believed to be certain destruction. Not content to sit it out at home, this brave madman went out, cellphone in hand, to record feet-on-the ground coverage of natures wrath when all the traditional news outlets had fled. From one end of the island to the other, Chad brought us videos all day long, undeterred by flash flooding, storm surges, and gale-force winds. Chad is not (to the best of my knowledge) a professional newsman, and he did all of this without asking for anything in return. Chad had our back when we were all holed up safely away, desperate for any glimpse of how our homes and our community were faring in the storm. What he did was probably stupid, but it was definitely selfless and brave. The least we can do is buy this guy a beer. It's the right thing to do.
