Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore was covering a winter storm in South Carolina Tuesday night when he found himself fighting off a video bomber.
He was giving an update from the campus of the College of Charleston when an apparent college student came running at him, yelling. With barely a reaction, Cantore pivoted right, lifted a knee and dealt the man a blow to his groin. Then Cantore just kept talking.

Maybe that is a wrestling move meets weather term: polar vortex smash!

So smooth it almost looks staged.

LOL was the “video bomber” a DirecTV executive trying to keep him off the air?

He actually only got him in the hip. Not the groin. Nice try though.

Looks to me just like a quick defensive posture. I doubt the kid even felt it.

Hahaha, and he kept going with the report after looking to see if the punk
needed a bit more adjusting!

What a pro. Cantore didn’t miss a beat and wasn’t pushed out of the frame as the moron kid intended.
I hope the police charge the moron kid with assault and battery and the College of Charleston expels him.

Jim-on air meltdown-Cantore “serves” on someone else’s groin!
Having been dealt the same by his girlfriend (hours) before going on hurricane assignment...this seems to be par for the course.

As any man knows, any hit to the groin, no matter how sight, can cause incapacitating pain. The kid didn't look in pain to me.
I think Cantore's "hit" was more of a nudge than anything else.

Love to see “Global Warming” Cantore vs. “Big Joe” Bastardi.
Best 2 of 3 falls.

Reminds me of the news woman in a canoe talking about the horrible flooding when two video bombers passed by showing the water was only about ankle deep.
