The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum / Tornado Hits TV Station In The Middle Of Weather Forecast

I suppose this was inevitable and had to happen eventually.

As a weather forecaster was on air on an Orlando TV station warning viewers of a dangerous tornado in the area, the monster storm hit the building he was broadcasting from. He managed to stay on air even as his headquarters was being rocked by the mighty winds and he was literally narrating the thing as it happened.

They were lucky the power stayed on and the broadcast never stopped.

Proof we don't need NOAA. Station handling this well enough on its own. Elon, ya listening?

Rather surprising how steady the camera/tower was as it passed by them. They said it was mostly an EF1 tornado but if a large piece of debris had collided with the tower or guy wires, it could have lead to a different outcome. They should also be thankful that it wasn't a catagory EF4 or 5.
