THIS is the bizarre moment a TV weatherman appeared to be caught faking his battle against gale-force winds during Storm Florence.br The Weather Channel's Mike Seidel was seemingly battling to stay upright as he filmed a piece in North Carolina, only for two pedestrians to calmly stroll past in the background.br br Speaking as he fought to stay in shot, he whined: "This is about as nasty as it's been".br But viewers spotted the pair walking down a road behind him - seemingly unaffected by the wind.br br 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".
