I just am getting this in folks, Mr. Newton has decided to take steps toward the basement after growing tired of his stand off with coworkers. Although said coworkers have retired and moved on Ryan states that until now it just wasn’t what he wanted to do!

"Get to shelter right now...Ryan Newton!" "RYAN, GET TO SHELTER NOW!" "NOW RYAN!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that gets me every time I watch this!!!!

I wasn’t gonna like this comment to keep it at 66, but I figured, 666 would be better

[@jordansbear]

I always find warnings on tv and on the news if they have to take cover creepy. It gives me the chills.

[@donkey3187]

Why? They have to take cover just like everyone else.

[@Jixsurez]

​@donkey3187 because we're so used to how controlled things are on TV, so when something goes wrong, it catches us off guard. Unexpected things can cause anxiety due to fear of the unknown. Potential thoughts can involve things like you're watching people live in danger, and there is nothing you can do to help them. If the professionals are in trouble, where does that leave me? Am I about to watch someone on my local station that I see every morning die? Of course, I live in an area that has had tornado warnings twice within my 24 year lifetime so I can't say much from experience. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

[@savannahevans798]

That used to scare me stupid when I was little, because if it's bad enough to take THEM out, what prayer did WE have?!?!

[@SVENY]

you always kinda think of them as not there? like you just usually see the studio, it's like a disconnect from reality, it's like peering into another world, so when a local event like a tornado or hurricane hits news channels, you just kinda snap back into the realisation that they are just as much there as you are.

[@JJJRRRJJJ]

@@SVENYit’s funny that you mention this… for my whole life, I’ve always had some sort of psychological discomfort whenever I drive by the local news’ studio in town (which is every day)… _surely_ _they’re_ _not_ _actually_ _in_ _this_ _random_ _building_ _when_ _they’re_ _telling_ _me_ _the_ _news_ _every_ _evening…_ That would be preposterous.

[@OnlineMathTutor--]

That is wild with how you can hear the tornado causing damage during the live weather report near the station.

[@arsenal-slr9552]

It didn't even hit near the station

[@scarpfish]

It barely hit anything.

Sometimes at night I can't sleep because I hear a voice whispering in the wind outside of my window. It says in a hushed and ghostly whisper..... "ryan newton."

[@sleuth2077]

Ryan was apparently still in shock from the news that his father was about to return from Afghanistan. 😂

[@selfryed]

LOL I THINK SO

[@scaldwell1982]

Ryan was never the same.

Ryan be like "haha wind go brrr"

[@pietzychannel]

I lived in IL and a tornado came through every news person except the weatherman went to the shelter he refused to leave and had to hide under the desk at one point

[@Hirukaki]

I remember something like this.... Was storming all night, we'd lost power, family was sitting around the weather radio (didn't have smartphones back then lol) and we hear them start leaving the room to take shelter. The mics were still hot so we just hear it go quiet and then we hear the storm just rattling the place. We were all gaping at eachother list holy crap!

[@akaviral5476]

Has anyone read the description of this video? Seems like a dramatic welcome home event

[@alexis-or5rs]

Ryan here reporting for duty

[@thewisconsinfiles]

This video gave me such high anxiety haha. Not being able to see the storm but hearing the panic in the voices makes me panic lol

[@fitfogey]

Ryan Newton still a legend in 2023 for trying to hang in there to save as many folks as possible.

[@PinkTeaTuesdays]

Covid raging... capitol riot... but tornado hitting tv station live from 6 years ago? Sure KZbin thanks for the suggestion.

[@selfryed]

KZbin is king/queen of suggestions

[@WhitefolksT]

Ryan Newton suggested this

[@cellogirl11rw55]

That is scary. . .😭 I hope everyone is safe.

[@Alnora]

Ryan will take shelter when he's good and ready, that twister is just gonna have to wait. Also big ups to NBC for still not fixing the description almost 10 years later.

[@zachmoyer1849]

"ya don't get hazard pay down in the shelter" Ryan Newman thought chasing the good check..... RIP brotha
