Pokémon Go is [taking over the world](http://time.com/4400791/pokemon-go-iphone-android-nintendo/?iid=sr-link1) so that means Florida.

Anyone who tuned in to Florida news station WTSP for the local weather forecast saw their state being walked all over by a Pokémon Go catching zombie who was willing to [go anywhere](http://time.com/4403516/pokemon-go-911-memorial-holocaust-museum/?iid=sr-link7) or over anything in her attempt to catch them all—even through the set of a live news broadcast.

The unnamed woman wandered through the weather report with her eyes on her phone seemingly determined to catch a Jigglypuff or whichever creature lurked across [the office](http://time.com/4401924/pokemon-go-church-gym-home/?iid=sr-link2). Perhaps the news station has turned into a [Pokegym](http://time.com/4400815/pokemon-go-nintendo-niantic/?iid=sr-link4)? Whatever the reason, she was so intent on firing her [Pokeballs](http://time.com/4403865/pokemon-go-muncie-animal-shelter-dog-walk/?iid=sr-link3) in the augmented reality game that she was completely oblivious to the very real fact that the cameras were on and her co-worker was actually doing his job. 

Be careful out there, folks! Augmented reality can have real world effects.
