Rita: Dog Hit By Car During Live Report on WX Channel

During a live report by The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore last night, viewers saw a car run over a dog in the background. “When I learned what had happened, I was heartbroken,” Cantore blogs. “I was not aware of the accident that was occurring right behind me, as my crew and I were focused on getting the hurricane information out to our viewers. But the local authorities were contacted and handled the situation.”
