WWAY in Wilmington had a close call at their studio because of the tornado.

UPDATE: We are all OK. Everyone followed instructions and took cover. Then we found a leak in the studio ceiling. Everyone pitched in to get us back on air on our interview set and address the leak. #TeamWWAY #YouMayGoFlo pic.twitter.com/xHN229or65

Three days of hurricane coverage and we just had to run out of the studio because of a tornado that headed near the station. We are all OK.
