What's the best reaction to a natural disaster occurring during a LIVE broadcast on TV or Web?

Yesterday, during a live broadcast ("webcast") of Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, host Kevin Pollak and guest Henry Winkler ("The Fonz") were both surprised by the rolling earth below them. The quake, which lasted over a minute, did no significant damage, but hearing The Fonz say that he was going to "pee in his pants" if the San Diego Earthquake got any worse is a pretty great reaction.

What are some of the best reactions to earthquakes, hurricanes/typhoons, storms, and tornadoes that have ever been caught on live television or live web?

I'll never forget the clip when Al Roker was reporting a hurricane and the camera man had to hold on to his feet because he was being blown away. I couldn't find that clip, but I found another one of Al Roker holding on to another reporter. This one is funny also

This doesn't actually qualify as a natural disaster but I thought it might fit into the discussion.

I think the way Lyndon LaRouche responded to 9/11 on live radio was quite impressive. He was in discussion with Jack Stockwell out of Salt Lake City when the report came in. He began, "The thing you have to look at, and the context in which this is occurring, is two things. First of all, the first suspicion that's going to be on this is Osama bin Laden. That name is going to come up prominently, whether as suspicion or just suspicion."

Later he responds to the crash of a second aircraft at the Pentagon, "This means that there's been some kind of either incompetence or fix on the whole security operation, because you CAN'T get this kind of thing without a real goofup, on the security side. So somebody in charge of security was really not very effectively in charge.

You can't go around snatching planes in a coordinated fashion, like this. You can't do it. Somebody has to be really sloppy."
