A television weatherman experienced a “career highlight” when he was literally blown away on live TV.
Deric Hartigan from TV3 Ireland was just doing his job Friday morning, delivering a weather update while standing in the rain.
But his forecast of “scattered showers” and the “pretty windy” day ahead came true quite literally as he delivered his update under a rather large yellow umbrella.
Within seconds of beginning his report, a gust of wind caught the weatherman off guard and swept him off screen.
His shout and the battle to regain control of the umbrella sent TV3’s studio anchors into a fit of laughter as they tried to regain their own composure.
Hartigan made it back on screen with a visibly damaged umbrella and a good laugh.
His man-bun appeared unharmed.
Hartigan apparently saw the humor in it all as the video entertained viewers and made the rounds on social media.
Career highlight right there.. https://t.co/PdgDeOZYvX

And while Twitter users appreciated the laugh, it seems Hartigan’s man-bun was the real star.
