TAKING IT BREEZY Hurricane Florence -- Weatherman caught ‘faking’ battle to stay on his feet as two men are spotted casually walking behind him
The Weather Channel's Mike Seidel was battling to stay upright as he filmed a piece in North Carolina - only for two pedestrians to calmly stroll past in the background
peaking as he fought to stay in shot, he whined: "This is about as nasty as it's been".
But viewers spotted the pair walking down a road behind him - seemingly unaffected by the wind.
The bizarre video racked up a million Facebook views in a matter of hours.
A spokesman for the Weather Channel said: “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 1am this morning and is undoubtedly exhausted.”
The deadly storm made landfall on the east coast of the US on Friday bringing with it "biblical" flooding on what's been described as a "thousand-year rain event".
