From Accidental Fashion Faux Pas To Uncontrollable Laughter: The Best News Bloopers

Worst Weather Blunder

Mike Fish learned the hard way that he shouldn’t be too confident about his weather predictions when he declared there wouldn’t be a hurricane in the United Kingdom in 1987. His assurance that people didn’t need to worry left them feeling safe, but they were in for a huge shock when The Great Storm hit the country and left destruction in its wake.

The tragedy resulted in the death of over 15 people and the destruction of many properties, prompting Mike to publicly apologize. He is still remembered for the blunder to this day, which serves as a reminder to all weather forecasters that they can’t always be right.
