In the video shared on Twitter, two men can be seen walking at a comfortable and relaxed pace behind the Weather Channel reporter Mike Seidel, who is battling the ferocious winds.
As the two men walked behind him as though nothing was wrong, people questioned if the wind was really that strong.
They suspected the reporter was acting.
And the video reminded people of other times weather people tried to cloud the truth with dramatic acts.
Not long after, the Weather Channel was reached out and supplied this statement:
> “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.”
