Introduction to 2025’s Wild Weather Moments
The year 2025 has been marked by significant weather events, ranging from record highs to arctic temperatures, and from historic snowfalls to devastating hurricanes. As the year comes to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on some of the most notable weather moments caught on camera. In this article, we’ll explore the top five wild weather moments of 2025, featuring exclusive footage from FOX Weather.
After a week of record highs, arctic temperatures have returned to the Eastern U.S., bringing below-average temps to many areas just as 2025 ends.
Snow Angel Fun in North Carolina
At number five on our list, we have Brandy Campbell reporting from a winter wonderland in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where communities saw the potential for the biggest snowstorm in 60 years, but fell short in February. The area isn’t used to much snowfall, as Campbell interviewed a father-daughter duo, Michael and Quinn, who were enjoying the fresh snow as the area was coated amid winter weather.
Northeast North Carolina could see biggest snowstorm in more than 60 years. FOX Weather Correspondent Brandy Campbell spoke with one Elizabeth City, North Carolina, resident and his daughter about the recent snow and even made snow angels with them.
“This doesn’t happen very often around here, from what people are talking about,” Michael explained as he enjoyed the snow. “We are very excited.” Campbell couldn’t resist indulging in winter activities as she lay out and created a textbook form of a snow angel with her fellow bystanders.
Chicago’s Historic Snow and Other Notable Events
Coming in at number four, we have Robert Ray capturing a unique moment during his coverage of the historic snow that blanketed Chicago, wrapping up on Nov. 29. Ray reports from a Christmas market where people were indulging in the holiday festivities, drinking warm wine and other tasty treats, as Chicago experienced its snowiest November day on record.

Ray captured the moment a large chunk of snow fell from the roof, landing on a woman’s head. Luckily, she was OK, but this shows how snow accumulation rose quickly during the historic event.
North Carolina Home Collapse and Hurricane Melissa
At number three on our list, we have a much more extreme moment captured on camera amid dangerous, heavy flooding in North Carolina, which caused many homes to collapse. At least 15 homes collapsed on the North Carolina Outer Banks in one month after back-to-back hurricanes and coastal storms heavily eroded beaches.
Another house in Buxton, North Carolina, has been added to the list of destruction as the effects of Post-Tropical Storm Imelda have destroyed an additional home.
FOX Weather Correspondent Katie Byrne was on the scene in Buxton, North Carolina, covering the dramatic event as intense winds, waves, tides, and rising sea levels caused significant erosion of the sand where homes are located. Byrne captured the unexpected moment when a home finally gave way under the heavy flooding, crashing down and sending waves and debris onto the shore.
At number two on the list, we have a shocking moment in which the glass doors of a home in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, failed under intense winds from Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall near New Hope as a Category 5 hurricane with winds exceeding 185 mph.
Powerful winds from Melissa sucked out two glass doors on a home in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica, causing them to come crashing down and shattering the glass.
