Don’t take shelter just yet — the Weather Channel has since cleaned up its “Hurricane Central” feed, but a series of alerts had at least a few followers on edge before they realized something wasn’t quite right.
@twc_hurricane Well this is sort of awkward… are you sure you meant to send these tweets? pic.twitter.com/aLxhaBswuv

Looks like @twc_hurricane: is getting ready for the upcoming season, but posting old tweets… LOL

@bryanwx @twc_hurricane Ha ha it looks like someone accidentally posted a crap ton of drafted tweets that never got deleted.

were the six consecutive tweets from @twc_hurricane eyebrow-raising to anyone else?

Floods, record snow, then fires. Now @twc_hurricane is tweeting about hurricanes.

And then they were gone. Good catch @twc_hurricane.

Other cable stations can get away with showing reruns, but the Weather Channel’s retrospective didn’t go over well.
@twc_hurricane You might want to stop tweeting bunk info about hurricanes.
