At 0:48, WTVA meteorologist Matt Laubhan begins to order the staff to seek shelter in the studio’s basement, before leaving the air himself at 1:04.

"This is a tornado ripping through the city of Tupelo as we speak, and this could be deadly," Laubhan said moments before rushing off the air. The tornado, which hit Monday afternoon, has caused significant damage, and multiple injuries are reported.
