A live weather report was today interrupted by a magnitude four earthquake in the US exposing just how smooth meteorologist Steve Paulson is during a disaster.

The KTVU weatherman was delivering a weather report early on Monday morning when the earthquake struck off the coast of San Francisco, unleashing quite a different line of dialogue than was intended.

Paulson uttered “Oh, my gosh we have an earthquake, oh my goodness, oh my goodness,” before proclaiming “This is a good one".

Of all the weird things to happen live on the air, this earthquake weather report has to be up there.
