Kansas reporters run for tornado shelter during newscast

Television cameras were rolling when staff at an NBC affiliate in Kansas had to run for cover as a tornado approached in Wichita.

JD Rudd, KSN-TV's weatherman, was reporting on a tornado warning in the area, to the point where the news team needed to follow their own advice and take cover.

"You know, JD, in 20 years I've never said this, but I really think it's our time to go. I really do," said chief meteorologist Dave Freedman.

Freedman continued talking for a little while longer as Rudd exited the screen, leaving the graphic of the weather map on.

"We've been monitoring the conditions here downtown, so at this point, folks, we here at KSN are moving to our shelters," he said.

"Get to shelter right now!" a man can be heard shouting in the background.

"Everybody down below, let's go!" Freedman shouts.
