Chief meteorologist Doug Kammerer paused his weather report on NBC Washington Thursday evening to call his family and inform them about a tornado warning nearby.
Kammerer was on the air at about 8:45 p.m. doing a lengthy weather report when the National Weather Service issued the warnings.
The path takes it "right over my house," Kammerer said on air with his cell phone in his hand while standing in front of a weather map showing the trajectory of the storm.
Kammerer then called his home and his son answered.
The meteorologist told his son that the family should go to the basement for safety.
"Gotta warn my kids," Kammerer said after hanging up the phone and resuming his weather report live on air.
