Michael Fish Denies Hurricane Rumors Hours Before the Great Storm of 1987
Like most professionals who owe a duty to the public, meteorologists are expected to take their job very seriously. That’s primarily because a timely forecast can be the difference between an avoidable tragedy and quickly implemented safety precautions.
In 1987, this BBC weather presenter Michael Fish decided to ignore the forecast of strong winds and heavy rain. Instead, he assured the nation that all the talk of an impending hurricane was just a rumor. Sadly, only a few hours later, a storm ravaged the South of England, ending the lives of 18 people. If only Fisher had done his job correctly!
