It is not the first time that the weather presenter has a live event
The earlier incident Carlson refers to took place in 2014. The meteorologist, who at the time worked for NBC affiliate KGET in Bakersfield, California, vomited during a broadcast.
Four years later, in an interview with KGET, she talked about the moment on air and how it led her to learn that she has a heart condition.

“I went to the doctor and they said, ‘Have you ever thought about having heart disease?’ I said no. I’m too young for that, I’m very healthy,” he admitted.
The doctor assured him that he had a leaky heart valve that would eventually need to be replaced.
