A Texas meteorologist is going viral after a Facebook post from "iWeatherNet," which he founded and operates, is going viral across the internet. You'll never guess why. Via KATV.com:

Chris Robbins' "iWeatherNet" Facebook account, which has over 116,000 followers and covers weather events in Dallas, Fort Worth and also Atlanta, Georgia, posted on Monday morning a warning, but not of the weather-related variety.

A child just rang my doorbell," the post read. "Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded. Keep your kids away."

The post was signed "Chris," indicating Robbins wrote and posted it himself. The post has since been repeatedly edited as backlash flowed in, but some internet users were able to screenshot the original and upload it on social media themselves.

Here's how one woman responded.

You know what the Texas state motto is? "Friendship." Ha, ha!

Chris now claims he was "just kidding." In Texas. The week after five people in one family were wiped out by a neighbor. So funny!
