In 2001, Smith was one of the media witnesses to the execution of Timothy McVeigh in Terre Haute, Indiana. He spoke to reporters about In late August, 2005, Smith went down to New Orleans, Louisiana to report on Hurricane Katrina for the FOX News Channel. He spent a little over a week in the French Quarter area of the city and faced the wrath of the storm for several hours during its worst moments in the city on August 29. At first, the broadcasts from the New Orleans' streets were choppy since they only had a video phone, but later improved a little with the arrival of a rain-soaked video camera. Smith was often seen wearing casual clothing, such as a backwards baseball cap and heavy rain gear, which contrasts his regular suit and tie look. During the aftermath of storm and its flooding, Smith reported about the grim state of the city on Interstate 10. He did his best to bring awareness to the fact that people were out on the highway for several days without food or water.
