Ella Dorsey is a meteorologist for Atlanta’s CBS46 who was just trying to inform everybody in the area of terrible weather and a possible tornado on Sunday.

Because of the weather, the station had to keep the public updated, which meant interrupting The Masters where Tiger Woods was on the cusp of making history.

The public didn’t seem to care too much.

Here are just a few comments from when they went love on Facebook and a few others from Twitter:

It got so bad that she had to address the constant death threats she was receiving from people:

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.

In a follow-up Tweet, she did, however, congratulate Tiger Woods on winning his first major since 2008.

Wow. Tiger. In an interview yesterday about the earlier start time, he threw out some crazy stat about how it happened in the 70s and Jack Nicklaus won it all. I thought that was epic. Congrats to the ?

Yikes! Seems like people cared more about Tiger than their own safety.
