A local U.S. television weathercaster has drawn attention for continuing to broadcast a tornado warning despite a fire breaking out in the studio during a live segment.
The reason Simmons did not put down the microphone or evacuate despite the fire was due to the severe weather conditions in the region at the time.
During the broadcast, he explained to viewers, "We have a fire in the studio, but we have two tornado warnings in effect, so I cannot stop the live tracking."
