  1. I’ve golfed in winds like that. Not well mind you. Wee breeze according to the Scots. Listen. We all understand these weather events have to be reported on. It’s a major storm causing destruction and unfortunate deaths. But this idiot should of been fired the second this aired. It’s FAKE and they don’t even care anymore.

    1. Agreed, Boots. The palm trees bend like that on a normal day golfing in Hawaii. Kinda fun when the wind is steady.

  2. this fools actions would be against a wind blowing in the opposite direction to what he pretends. Yah, I noticed the 2 in the back ground right away. Bludy fools!!!

  3. So is this idiot filming himself,as in fixed camera? Or does he have a cameraman?
    Who hates him.
    The weather channel as been hysterical for years now, but is even more Lame..

  4. LOL! The guys in the background are casually strolling about in shorts while that idiot is pretending he’s withstanding a hurricane!

    Allah almighty,do any of these people have any integrity?

  5. They got nothing on Crowsnest Pass by the lake in deep south west of Alberta.
    You wanna feel the wind, go check it out, any day, any time, day and night. 100k/h is yer basic.
    Go fill up at Shell in Pincher Creek and hold on. For some reason that spot gets the wind.

    1. our annual golf tournament at Waterton…..now there is a challenge to get your ball to land anywhere close to the fairway!

    2. I’ve cycled there. Head into the wind, as far as you can stand it, then turn around. You’ll be in Swift Current before you know it, without turning a pedal.

  6. It’s back to finishing school for this rookie!

    It will be a while before he’s ready for the convincing, gravitas laden, Mansbridge-type pronouncement that “extreme weather – induced by climate change – continues to pummel the eastern seaboard…”.

  7. When watching anything on the news, always keep in mind what you can do with a green screen, a fan, and some dude with a bucket of water.

  8. Only to liberal media outlets looking for something to pin on President Trump is Florence a disaster. To normal people in that part of the world it’s called September.

    If (God forbid) Hillary had won in 2016, you wouldn’t be hearing a word about Florence. A few crackers caught in a rainstorm? Nuts to that, the police looked at a black man funny!

    1. Yes. Dead due to the criminal corruption and incompetence of the pack of thieves and halfwits that pass for Puerto Rico’s government.

      And they tried to blame that on President Trump too. Disgusting.

      1. Can’t disagree at all. The casualty count in early November 2017 was something like 55. There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy. Is somebody mistaken?

    2. No point even trying to catch up. They’ll just find more dead in San Juan they had forgotten to count.

  9. Always enjoyable to watch the storm reporting as everyone tries to pretend they are a second/millimeters away from destruction and death. The reporter canoeing in the deep while folks wander by in ankle deep water is a favourite but the all time best is when Geraldo Rivera gets knocked on his ass.

  10. #Fake Weather is rescued by #Fake News.
    Presenting: America’s Hall Monitor…
    **CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter on Friday evening offered up a laughable defense of The Weather Channel’s Mike Seidel, who is being mercilessly mocked for exaggerating wind speeds while covering Hurricane Florence. Video shared on Twitter shows two people stroll casually by Seidel as he dramatically faces down the storm.

    @brianstelter
    This looks bad, obviously. But FWIW, in @MikeSeidel’s defense, the channel noted that “the 2 individuals in the background are walking on concrete” while he’s on wet grass, and he was “undoubtedly exhausted” from constant live shots…**

  11. This is criminal. People are making life and death decisions based on weather forecasts and you get idiots pulling stunts like this.

  12. when the wind picks him up and he is flying through the air screaming I will pay attention. I have sat out the day in Florida with 90 mile an hour winds and lots of rain. a few mobiles were turned over and trees pulled up, but no one did anything other than watch the storm and stay indoors.
