Dad first! Meteorologist Doug Kammerer of NBC 4 Washington D.C,. went viral this week for calling his kids during a live broadcast when he realized the tornado warning mapped right over his home.
Kammerer is seen relaying the tornado warning for the news network and zooming into the specific neighborhoods to warn when he realized it was right where he lives in Maryland. He stated it was going to go "in the Chevy Chase area, right over my house." He is then seen fumbling with his phone relaying the tornado warning area to viewers and also calling his son to tell him to get into the "bedroom in the basement for 10-15 minutes" due to the sudden tornado warning.
Viewers reacted to his parental instincts to call his children regardless of what he was doing with praise.
