Hurricane Milton has hit Florida’s central west coast – and the murderous storm has even hit CNN’s most famous face – Anderson Cooper.

Anderson, who usually hosts his show “Anderson Cooper 360” from a cozy New York studio, touched down near Siesta Keys, Florida, to report on the “dangerous Category 3 hurricane” – but on Wednesday night he found himself in turmoil.

Check out the video… Anderson was filming live from a flooded pier, battling high winds and pouring rain, when flying debris hit him square in the head.

The veteran journalist was shaken, stumbled backwards and said, “Woah!” That wasn’t good. We’ll probably go in soon.

As you know, Anderson is no stranger to covering natural disasters or operations in war zones. He has spent much of his journalistic career reporting on these stories.

However, his fan base still expressed concern on social media as he struggled to deliver his report from Florida. Several supporters encouraged him to get to a safe place before he was washed away by the hurricane.

Suddenly, his image was replaced by CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, who reassured viewers that Anderson was fine.

Collins noted that the station had a difficult time connecting with Anderson because of the storm, which reportedly left four people dead and devastated entire neighborhoods in St. Lucie County alone.
