I’ve had my back to the TV most of the day, writing up a football special section I hope to post Sunday. So I completely missed this.
But thankfully, someone — I didn’t catch who — tweeted it.
That’s the Weather Channel’s Eric Fisher, broadcasting live this afternoon from in front of a strip mall in Virginia Beach while a number of local morons cavort behind him in the wind and rain.
Emphasis on “strip” mall. Because, if you zoom in on the guy on the right, you’ll see…
Yep. For an uncensored view of that last picture, click here.
UPDATE: Here’s the video itself.
Jon Bershad of Mediaite reports that Fisher had just said: “I’m pretty much speechless at what we’ve been seeing.” He’s also posted a video. Find that here.
