An intrepid storm chaser threw up while taking a bumpy ride through Hurricane Melissa.
Matthew Cappucci, a senior meteorologist with MyRadarWX, was in the middle of trying to describe Hurricane Melissa when he started to lose his nerve and puked into a can.
Cappucci assured viewers he was fine five minutes after being sick on the flight. CNN“Puking on national TV. I think my television career has peaked,” Cappucci wrote on X.
In the comments, Cappucci promised that he “knew what [he] was into” and that the ordeal “was worth it 10 fold” even after dry heaving in front of the world.
“Also rest assured I was fine 5 minutes later,” he wrote.
Hurricane Melissa dragged in winds reaching a whopping 185 mph that forced airports to close and most flights to redirect away from the island nation — save for storm chasers like Cappucci, who sought to get as close as they could.
