Episode description
A television meteorologist in Atlanta received death threats for interrupting the Masters Golf Tournament, to cover a tornado threat. The move angered a lot of viewers who were glued to the game. But is there anything local meteorologists can do to curb the anger and still deliver life-saving information? Ari Sarsalari talks to social scientist Dr. Laura Myers for some perspective on how people interpret warnings -- and asks whether breaking into programming is even a practice worth keeping in this information age.
