    Default Fake Weather News

    Weather Channel defends reporter captured swaying in Florence winds as 2 people walk behind him.

    As Hurricane Storm Florence lashed through the Carolinas with howling winds and heavy rain, one reporter was captured attempting to keep it together as winds appeared to lash at him, but was mocked when two people were seen walking behind him with little difficulty.

    The viral video, which has more than 13.6 million views, showed Weather Channel correspondent Mike Seidel in Wilmington, North Carolina, trying to fight the heavy wind as he reported live from the storm on Friday

    You need to see the video on that page – hilarious.

    The Weather Channel made the flimsy excuse that he was standing on grass, while the others walking past were on the road. If anything, the grass would have given the guy a firmer surface. It’s totally fake reporting.
    The first witchdoctor 100,000 years ago said, "God did it," and today the Pope says the same thing.

    Everyone knows that when in the face of HURRICANE force winds you should always head for cement and avoid grass.

    The logical question one would ask the Weather channel is “why was he standing on grass then”

    This storm was hyped from the very beginning. They keep claiming all of this epic rain fall totals but the flooding and damage doesn’t seem to match up

    Yes, ever since weather became political (with their 'man made Global Warming' myth) they like to hype it up. The truth is that in the past they simply didn't have the resources to cover it as effectively as they do now, so all you'd get is, "There's a large storm down South and six X number of people are reported missing. We'll keep you posted. And now to Sport."
    Now they make it into a 24 hour news cycle to keep millions of millennials chanting, "The end is nigh. We've destroyed our planet."
