Anderson Cooper struck by debris while reporting on Hurricane Milton

During a live broadcast covering Hurricane Milton, CNN’s Anderson Cooper was struck by debris on the face, leaving his fans concerned.

Hurricane Milton, measuring as a category three storm, the second of its kind that hit Florida in a matter of weeks, made landfall on October 9, spawning dozens of tornadoes and 28ft waves, along with extremely strong winds.

Millions of homes and businesses have been left without electricity and the death toll has been reported to be at least sixteen.

Before the hurricane struck, officials urged the citizens to seek evacuation, which many did. Yet, there were those who opted to stay in their homes, expecting the worse, but praying for the best.

Live from Bradenton, Florida, a few miles away from Siesta Key, Anderson Cooper reported on the hurricane while battling wind speeds of more than 150mph when a piece of debris hit him in the face. “Woah! That wasn’t good. We’ll probably go inside shortly,” he said before he continued with the live broadcast.

Fans and viewers were quick to comment on the incident, hoping Cooper wasn’t seriously injured.

Many wondered why he was even reporting from outside given the weather conditions and the expected severity of Hurricane Milton.

“What does putting Anderson Cooper on a pier in the middle of the ocean at the height of a hurricane in its center achieve in informing viewers. It’s like 120mph winds. Get my sweet porcelain glass anchor inside,” one X user wrote.

“Someone rescue Anderson Cooper from CNN. #HurricaneMilton,” said another.

“The moment Anderson Cooper gets hit by flying debris in Bradenton, FL. WTF,” a third penned.

“Why is Anderson Cooper out in Milton trying to be Jim Cantore, and why did he get smacked in the face by debris?” another wrote.

Hurricane Milton struck weeks after Hurricane Helene, leaving devastation behind.
