I received an email telling me how unprofessional I was during my coverage.” going on to defend his actions, saying, “I take my job and your safety very seriously, but I’m also a husband and a father.” In the middle of severe weather, I decided to take a brief moment to make sure my wife and child were safely in the basement.

I am a husband and a father first.” Nick’s post was quickly flooded by comments supporting the 32-year-old’s decision to put his family, which includes wife Angie and their five-month-old daughter Jaime, ahead of his job, prompting the meteorologist to share a follow-up post August 3rd, writing, “Thank you for all the love and support over the past few days.

      His job came down on him, no one else cares… I’m sure he didn’t receive a random email from a viewer and if he did, serves him right. Your job is your job. It has nothing to do with your duties of being a husband and father. You’re on the clock, young man.

      You’re not doing anyone in Minnesota any favors, you’re getting paid to render a service. The nerve of people today. 😒

      I disagree with his explanation, he was live on air, he could have waited one minute before responding. I think this is a publicity stunt or something else. Think of 911, wars etc no other news reporter or presenter has ever done this mid report.

      seriously someone complained about him texting his wife to make sure she and their child were safe? Who cares, I would have done the same thing and whoever complained I hope you see this comment…🖕 you and he shouldn't have to explain himself to anyone about why he did what he did…people need to get a life.
