This is a scream
"When Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Caroline, Weather Channelreporter Mike Seidel was out in the storm reporting live. As he struggled to maintain his balance against the high winds and rain, Seidel says, “This is about as nasty as it’s been.” Meanwhile, two men can be seen in the background strolling casually with no effort in the rain. The video has since gone viral and Seidel is being accused of exaggerating.
The Weather Channel made a statement to the Washington Post in regards to the video (which can be watched below) saying: “It’s important to note that the two individuals in the background are walking on concrete, and Mike Seidel is trying to maintain his footing on wet grass, after reporting on-air until 1:00 a.m. ET this morning and is undoubtedly exhausted.”"
