Talk about dedication to the job! This morning, Fox Weather’s Robert Ray braved hurricane-strength winds, barely managing to stay on his feet as he reported live from Bradenton, Florida. With 100mph gusts slamming the area, Ray went all out in protective gear—bike helmet, goggles, the whole nine yards—as he struggled to deliver his weather update.
The wild footage shows Ray leaning into the fierce winds, helmet nearly flying off, as he shouts over the deafening gusts. It’s a bizarre but oddly captivating scene, reminding us just how intense storm reporting can get. The clip has since gone viral, with viewers amazed at the lengths weather reporters go to keep us informed—even if it means facing down a hurricane in real-time.
