Meteorologist Ella Dorsey Says She Got Death Threats for Interrupting Masters

Ella Dorsey, a meteorologist for Atlanta's CBS46, said she received death threats after the network cut into Masters coverage to broadcast a potential tornado:

Ella Dorsey

To everyone sending me death threats right now: you wouldn’t be saying a damn thing if a tornado was ravaging your home this afternoon. Lives are more important than 5 minutes of golf. I will continue to repeat that if and when we cut into programming to keep people safe.

There were several complaints in Dorsey's Twitter mentions, along with the CBS46 handle, as the network cut into several minutes of back-nine coverage from Tiger Woods' victory.
