Anderson Cooper is taking the chance.

The CNN anchor was reporting stay from Brandenton, Florida, as Hurricane Milton touched down on Oct. 9 when he was struck within the head with flying particles.

“If you look at the ground—whoa!” the 57-year-old was heard saying as one thing massive and white flew into the shot, hitting him within the head, which was solely coated with a baseball cap. “That wasn’t good. We’ll probably go inside shortly.”

The veteran journalist was within the thick of it because the historic hurricane made landfall as a class three with 120 mph winds.

Many viewers expressed concern for Cooper because the CNN broadcast shared alarming photographs of the extreme circumstances.

“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 (previously Twitter) person wrote. “Warning the following video contains Anderson in danger and her cursing like a sailor.”
