A television meteorologist broadcast live on the air as a tornado hit his station's studio in Lake Mary, Florida, near Orlando. The meteorologist, Brooks Garner, warned employees to take shelter. Lights flickered during the broadcast and when it was all over Garner said he'd never experienced anything like that before.
WOFL-TV meteorologist Brooks Garner was warning people in the path of the storm to take shelter when he realized the tornado was coming right toward the TV studio. While still on air, Garner told everyone in the building to take cover.
"Get to your safe space under your desk. We're catching debris right now on the roof," he said.
"This is a tornado."
The storm caused at least one home to collapse, but there were no reports of injuries or deaths.
Garner stayed on the air as power flickered and the twister passed over.
"This is a very serious situation," he told viewers. "This is a real live tornado."
About 90 seconds later, once it was all over, he stopped to catch his breath.
