Reporter Nick Dixon from the British TV show Good Morning Britain was hit by winds of over 160 km/h while covering Storm Eowyn.
A terrifying video shared on the X profile of the Good Morning Britain show shows British TV reporter Nick Dixon, 53, in Largs, Scotland, being hit by winds of over 160 km/h during the coverage of Storm Eowyn.
The weather event left more than half a million homes without power across the UK. Residents were advised to stay indoors due to the high risk to life.
While showing the power of the winds, Nick Dixon struggled to remain standing in front of the cameras. Viewers were concerned about the reporter, who even lost the broadcast signal during the show’s presentation.
Presenter Kate Garraway warned him to stay safe, after rare red weather warnings were issued. “Are you okay? My God, you’re really feeling the impact, aren’t you?” asked Kate.
“Yes, it’s getting worse. We’re having difficulties with our equipment because of the conditions,” replied Nick.
Viewers were outraged by ITV’s decision to allow the reporter to be exposed to great danger during the storm.
“What stupidity filming Nick Dixon trying to stay safe in the storms in Scotland. He doesn’t need to report outside in these conditions,” one of them wrote on X.
