WATCH: Anderson Cooper Hit in the Face by Flying Debris During Hurricane Milton Coverage
Gateway Pundit ^ | October 10, 2024 | Cassandra MacDonald

CNN’s Anderson Cooper was hit in the face by flying debris during his live coverage of Hurricane Milton in Bradenton, Florida.

The debris was later said to be a piece of styrofoam.

Cooper was doing a live hit by the water shortly after 9 p.m. when he was struck.

“The wind has really picked up,” Cooper said. “The water’s really moving. You can get a sense of just how fast the wind is moving there. You can see it in the light there. It is now just whipping off the Manatee River. It’s coming from kind of the north, I guess northeast. And the water now is really starting to pour over. If you look at the graph–whoa!”

The unidentified object then flew into the shot and hit Cooper in his face and chest.

“Ok, that wasn’t good,” Cooper said. “I’ll probably go inside shortly. But you can see the amount of water here on the ground. This is water from the Manatee River. It’s also water coming from the land as well.”

Nearly three million people were left without power after the massive storm made landfall near Sarasota on Wednesday evening.

Over a dozen tornados were reported across the state with multiple fatalities.

Submit additional information.

The only dangerous thing Cooper has ever done is to get sodomized by other homosexuals. /spit

I have always been annoyed that in some events regular folks are forced to leave and roadblocks set up etc... but the press gets to go in... Aren’t they special.

“The debris was later said to be a piece of styrofoam.”

He’s probably been bitch-slapped harder than that.

Good! It’s irresponsible to tell people how dangerous a storm is then stand out there in it for a better background for a TV show.

This is modern reporting....

"“The wind has really picked up,” Cooper said. “The water’s really moving. You can get a sense of just how fast the wind is moving there. You can see it in the light there. It is now just whipping off the Manatee River. It’s coming from kind of the north, I guess northeast. And the water now is really starting to pour over. If you look at the graph..."

I think it's an active conspiracy - feeding a constant stream of idiocy into the face-holes of the ignorant just keeps reducing the IQ of the viewer.

How is it that people are told that they will die if they don't evacuate and yet these idiots (including weather channel meteos) go to 'ground zero' outdoors to report on the weather event? Any chance their survival works against the efforts of government to get people out of harm's way?
