MYFOXNY.COM - A local news reporter from Washington, D.C., ended up getting covered in sea foam as he delivered live hurricane reports from Ocean City, Md.
The city issued a statement, to correct erroneous reports, saying that there was no raw sewage from its plant in the seafoam.
The statement said, "The Ocean City Wastewater Treatment Plant was taken offline Saturday, Aug. 27 at 6 p.m. to prevent potential spills or leakage. There was never a sewage leak or spill in Ocean City and our beaches opened for swimming the day after the hurricane."
WTTG-TV reporter Tucker Barnes was providing live updates for stations around the country as the sea foam poured over him.
Barnes was on the boardwalk as Hurricane Irene hit the coast of Maryland
He noted that he had immersed himself in organic material.
"It doesn't taste great," he said.
He said it had a sandy consistency and added, "I can tell you first-hand, it doesn't smell great."
60-mph wind gust sprayed the sea foam across the reporter and the boardwalk and coated buildings.
Bubbles and foam in the ocean can be caused by several things, including oils from decomposing animals.
