Al Roker has a message for people who think he's too old to do a live report from scenes of natural disasters. 

"Well, hey guess what? Screw you," the meteorologist said on Sunday when he appeared on MSNBC to report on Hurricane Ida's impact on Louisiana. "Try to keep up, OK? Keep up. These young punks, I will come after them. I will drop them like a bag of dirt."

According to Yahoo News, many social media users first expressed their concerns on Sunday morning after seeing the weatherman's live report from Lake Pontchartrain. The 67-year-old, who was wearing a heavy jacket while fighting to keep his balance, braved the Category 4 storm which sustained winds of 150 mph. 

"Al Roker, get out of that unsafe weather there," anchor Chuck Todd said after the forecast.

Meanwhile, viewers flooded social media to express their concern for Roker.

People wondered if the producers actually hate Roker.

Viewers pleaded with networks to stop sending their reports to natural disaster areas.

Roker, who underwent surgery last year to remove his prostate after being diagnosed with cancer, went to social media on Sunday to address the concerned viewers.

"For all those who were worried about me out on #lakepontchartrain a) I volunteered to do this. Part of the job. b) My crew and I were safe and we are back at our hotel and c) for those who think I’m too old to to be doing this, try and keep up," he wrote on Instagram.

Still, many people prefer to see the beloved the weatherman in a safer environment.

When he appeared on MSNBC's The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart from New Orleans, Roker once again tried to assure people that he knows what he is doing.

"I volunteered to come out here. I've done it for 40 years," he said. "Our crews, we all make sure we are safe, and we're not going to do something to put ourselves in harm's way. As much as I love the weather and love NBC, I'm not going to risk my life for it."
