This clip from a local LA news report on the Grammy awards Sunday night is making its way around the Web.

While some people were laughing, we weren't. It appears that Serene Branson had a mild to serious stroke, on-air. According to the American Heart Assocation, a sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body, sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding are all symptoms of a stroke.

It's American Heart Month, and strokes are caused by cardiovascular disease. Knowing the warning signs and symptoms of strokes and heart attacks can aid in their proper treatment and prevention.

Following up on Branson: She was examined by EMTs outside the Staples Center after she was cut. A KCBS reporter tweeted last night that "station is looking into if there was a problem."

Yesterday, KCBS released a statement saying: "Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home, and she says she is feeling fine this morning."

A very strange story; we wish her well.
