Whoever said "necessity is the mother of inven- tion" probably wasn't thinking about TV reporters putting condoms up to their mouths in the middle of a hurricane ... but, yeah, that's a thing now!
NBC's Kyla
Galer is practic- ing safe reporting down in Florida as Hurricane Ian roars across the state -- proudly, and gently we're sure, rolling out
latex protection for her micro- phones while out in the field.
As Kyla's pointing out to curious viewers ... "It is what you think it is. It's a condom. We can't get these mics wet ... so, we gotta do what we gotta do."
Translation: No glove,
no love live shots from this reporter!
Just to wrap this
up ... Kyla's get- ting pounded in the Naples area, just south of where Ian's eye came onshore Wednesday. She, and tons of other TV reporters, are out in the ele- ments getting whipped by heavy wind and rain -- but a little prophylactic preparation goes a long way.
Condoms. They're not just for banging.

United Airlines Passengers 'Started Shrieking' After A Garden Snake Was Found In The Plane Cabin
By Natalia Senanayake
Passengers on a United Airlines flight to New Jersey on Monday got a slithering surprise.
Upon arrival at Newark Liberty International Airport, a passen- ger spotted a snake on the floor of the cabin.
While nobody was injured, a passen- ger revealed
to News 12 New Jersey that while the plane was taxiing, "passen- gers in business class started
shrieking and pulling their feet up."
Police and opera- tions employees were quickly noti- fied and authori- ties met the plane at the gate and "removed the snake," the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement.
The United Airlines flight 2038 departed from Tampa, Florida, and reached New Jersey early Monday after- noon. "After being alerted by pas-
sengers, our crew called the appro- priate authorities to take care of the situation," United tells PEOPLE.
According to
the Florida Museum of Natural History, garter snakes, most commonly referred to as gar- den snakes, are not aggressive and will try to "flee" when they see a human. Although garden snakes do pro- duce venom, they are considered non-venomous and would not inflict serious harm to a human.
