An Orlando-area television station took its commitment to reporting news from the front lines a little too seriously on Monday, as the station was hit by a tornado in the middle of a live weather broadcast.
As reported by The New York Post:
Meteorologist Brooks Garner, from the Orlando-based WOFL Fox 35, was giving an update on the severe weather in the Sunshine State on Monday when he became aware that a tornado was heading directly for the television studio.
Garner, a true TV meteorologist hero, sprung into action and began barking orders at everyone at the station.
'Take shelter. Everybody in the Fox 35 building get to your safe space,' Garner called out as a camera on the building's roof showed the torrential rains and winds roll in, video of the live broadcast shows.
'Get under your desks guys. Anchors, under the desks,' Garner said frantically as the storm spun its way across the building, which is off Interstate 4 in Seminole County, Florida.
Power flickered at the station and the building's outside camera was briefly obscured by the rain and high winds of the storm, but no one present was harmed. Two homes were destroyed north of Orlando.
The only question left is, if being stuck in a tornado in Kansas sends you to the Land of Oz…
…where does a tornado in the Land of "Florida Man" take you?
