Phoenix reporter takes big splash during live report

When severe weather comes rolling through, some local reporters take risks to tell the best story in their live report.

While it was not as risky as charging into a storm, 3TV’s Mike Watkiss reported from a large puddle at 15th Avenue and Roosevelt Street and took the punishment for his position on an active road.

Like a true pro, Watkiss continued his report like nothing even happened.

Besides the obvious, one can’t help but grin at Watkiss reporting on caution as he gets splashed.
