SIOUX FALLS, SD – (May 13, 2013) – As severe storms struck parts of South Dakota this week, ABC affiliate WSFY-TV broke into programming to deliver live storm coverage.  Phones began ringing off the hook at the TV station with complaints as a tornado barreled through a community.

On Tuesday morning, two news anchors lashed out at the viewers who complained.

The YouTube page reads, “This morning my amazing co-anchor, Nancy Naeve, went on a rant about the nasty emails, calls and social media messages we received after breaking into the “Once Upon A Time” season finale.  I don’t take the decision to break in lightly, but when there’s a confirmed tornado on the ground that is headed toward people’s homes, I break in. I don’t care what’s on.”
