Meteorologist calls kids on air to warn about approaching tornado (video screenshot)
(NEW YORK POST) – A Washington D.C. weatherman is basking in the re-gale of social media for calmly calling his kids on air to warn them to shelter immediately from a tornado.
“Get downstairs as soon as you can, OK?” NBC Washington chief meteorologist Doug Kammerer says calmly into a cellphone while the cameras rolled during a Thursday night weather report. “Yeah, get down there right now. Get in the bedroom down there. And just kind of wait for like 10-15 minutes. OK? Do it now. Alright. Thanks, buddy.”
He posted the video of the call on Twitter. The on-air map behind him showed the path of the tornado heading right over his family’s home when he quickly phoned home.
