Weather Channel Roasted For Texas Tornado TikTok

TikTok users questioned the Weather Channel's seemingly insensitive song choice after the brand shared a video of tornado damage in Temple, Texas on Thursday, May 23.

The video, which can be seen below, shows footage of homes and businesses that sustained major damage after a tornado touched down on the evening of May 22.

Tommy Richman's "Million Dollar Baby" was selected as the music featured in the Weather Channel's TikTok, and while it may be common practice to include viral sounds to increase views, commenters were having none of it.

"Music Choice? For Real," one user posted. Others echoed that sentiment in the comment section.

Another suggested the brand speak to its social media team about the song selection; more comments can be seen in the screenshot below.

As of 2:04 p.m. on May 23, the brand had not responded to user comments.

The City of Temple is currently under a Disaster Declaration as crews work to respond to heavily damaged areas and thousands remain without power.
