CBS3’s Kate Bilo Interrupts Big Brother With a Tornado Warning, Big Brother Viewers Get Mad
CBS3’s Kate Bilo did what TV meteorologists do on Thursday night: When the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for her viewing area, she went on the air to warn viewers.
Unfortunately for Bilo, she did so right during the middle of Big Brother, the CBS reality show, and while tornadoes can sometimes be a matter of life or death, well, Big Brother is really important.
@katebilo BIG BROTHER IS ON WOMAN CHILL

Bilo tried to be a good sport.
Sorry about Big Brother, guys. Just trying to do my job. But thanks for all the mean tweets! :)

No time for mean tweets and personal attacks when lives could be at stake. If it were my house and my kids, I'd want to know.

The lesson: Clearly, never try to save anybody from a tornado.
