KXAN Austin morning meteorologist Kristen Currie, who covered Hurricane Helene from Tallahassee, took to Facebook to answer viewers' questions about why she was in Florida covering the storm.
KXAN is owned by Nexstar Media Group, which routinely sends crews from other cities to cover big events for their large station group.
When Nexstar purchased CW39 Houston KIAH, it brought in crews from around Texas to cover hurricanes on the Texas Gulf Coast.
