Tupelo, Mississippi) WTVA chief meteorologist Matt Laubhan will always be remembered for praying for the city of Amory prior to the arrival of the tornado that ravaged the community.
He, along with the entire weather team, was laid off on Friday.
WTVA’s parent company Allen Media Group in May announced a restructuring move that affected about 12%, or some 2,500 employees.

The entire team at the Waterloo, Iowa AMG station, KWWL, were also kicked to the curb.
Reminds me of when Frank Reynolds lost his cool anchoring the ABC news during the Reagan shooting in ’81.
The news people are expected to keep steady, not panic the audience.
I was watching at the time Reynolds pulled those theatrics. It was silly.
