While Fox 32 Chicago chief meteorologist Emily Wahls and meteorologist Mark Strehl kept viewers up to date on the latest severe weather Monday night, a loud siren sounded in the background of their broadcast.

“This is interesting,” Strehl said as he paused for a brief moment to alert those who were at home watching what was going on at the studio.

Strehl explained they were receiving instructions to leave their workstations and head to a safer space due to the impending dangerous weather.

“So, we’re not going to do that,” he said as he remained at his desk. “We need to keep bringing you this information.”

Meanwhile his colleague Emily Wahls remained at the station’s weather wall and spoke directly to her coworkers.

“For those of you who work in the Fox 32 building of course you heard those warnings, please go take care of that. Just go ahead and leave Mark and I both up so we can both talk together.”

While everyone else sought shelter, the two meteorologists remained on air continuing to provide live updates for their viewers.

As of Tuesday morning the National Weather Service did not confirm any tornadoes, but at least seven had been reported near Chicago including two at Midway International Airport and one at O’Hare International Airport.

At least one person died after a large tree fell on their home.
