Anderson Cooper Hit With Debris During Hurricane Milton Coverage
Influencer Caroline Calloway Won’t Evacuate Florida Home Ahead of Hurricane Milton
Anderson Cooper is taking the risk.
The CNN anchor was reporting live from Brandenton, Florida, as Hurricane Milton touched down on Oct. 9 when he was struck in the head with flying debris.
“If you look at the ground—whoa!” the 57-year-old was heard saying as something large and white flew into the shot, hitting him in the head, which was only covered with a baseball cap. “That wasn’t good. We’ll probably go inside shortly.”
The veteran journalist was in the thick of it as the historic hurricane made landfall as a category three with 120 mph winds.
Many viewers expressed concern for Cooper as the CNN broadcast shared alarming images of the severe conditions.
“My girlfriend is having a full on melt down because @cnn has her favorite thing on earth @andersoncooper in the middle of a life threatening hurricane,” one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote. “Warning the following video contains Anderson in danger and her cursing like a sailor.”
