Meteorologist warning of tornado pummeled by fans of vapid TV show

Katy Morgan, a TV meteorologist in Nashville, had to break into regular programming on Wednesday to warn residents about two tornadoes.

She interrupted The Masked Singer, which apparently is a Fox TV show that provides the sum and substance of some people’s lives.

Yesterday 2 people died due to flooding. 2 tornadoes caused damage. Unfortunately, I had to cover The Masked Singer to warn people about the dangerous conditions moving in. Here are some comments I received while on air. I will always put lives ahead of a TV show. pic.twitter.com/DmRf2cSZzq
