Some tweets I've seen:

It's less windy 25 feet behind him.

It's windy somewhere. Not here, but it's windy somewhere.....

Others appear to be calling it fake news.

You decide.

Weather Channel Reporter Roasted for Struggling During Hurricane While 2 People Easily Walk By

It's easy enough in any built-up area to find spots where the wind is funnelled by buildings etc. if you wanted to make your footage look that extra bit dramatic. The main University building in the nearby town is famous for it; it's a terrible design that funnels the wind right across its main entrance; even when the wind is not too severe, you have to watch you don't get knocked sideways as you come out of the doors.

At the same time, something instinctive that I can't put my finger on finds the way that he moves not entirely convincing.

A weatherman struggling to hold himself on the ground makes for more engrossing television. Case closed.

Look at the sign that the reporter is next to. Watch the grass move. There is some wind but in my mind not extreme wind.

Right on the screen it says sustained wind 29MPH guests to 48 below tropical storm force. It looked higher tropical storm force but not hurricane force.

I love the way the cameraman goes in for the wide shot, totally blowing him out. He easily could have cut in close and no one would have seen the walking people.

I wonder if he was reprimanded by his superiors for that.
