A meteorologist in Atlanta said she received death threats from viewers for interrupting the Masters tournament that featured the historic and improbable win by Tiger Woods.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that CBS 46's Ella Dorsey took to Twitter to defend herself and the broadcast that only took up half the screen during the tournament.
To everyone sending me death threats right now: you wouldnt 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.

Whey should have just have done a scroll at the bottom of the screen?
For me here in Atlanta, the weather is whatever Elsa says it is!

Why do you need commentators for golf, anyway?
IIRC the O.J. Chase interrupted the NBA Finals.
It also provided one of the greatest moments in TV history, Captain Jenks fake call to Peter Jennings, Al Michaels’ reaction was priceless.
Its the internet. Does anyone not get death threats?
I agree. Golf courses are beautiful...watching on tv provides great nap material....being there is probably more fun. I would be watching birdlife.
