God save the queen! The internet is freaking out over Anderson Cooper’s wild Hurricane Milton coverage
Anderson Cooper!The beloved silver fox journalist was on the ground when Hurricane Milton hit Florida on Wednesday evening, attempting to update CNN viewers through powerful winds and torrential downpours.Yo why is Anderson Cooper in the wild fighting the elements?
He’s supposed to be a studio artist. I am confusion.pic.twitter.com/MTw0aJM8j4Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.According to Gov.
Ron DeSantis, the hurricane was “significant” but “thankfully … not the worst case scenario,” though it was a Category 3 storm when it made landfall and brought “deadly storm surge to much of Florida’s Gulf Coast” before it was eventually downgraded to a Category 1.Nevertheless, the Anderson Cooper 360 host seemed to be on-air during the worst of it, and the girls were worried!At one point, he was even hit in the face by flying debris!!Watch.“That wasn’t good”: Anderson Cooper gets whacked by debris whilst reporting at the water’s edge. #HurricaneMilton pic.twitter.com/T8pAh6SwpZ“The water now is really starting to pour over,” he told viewers before getting struck. “If you look at the ground — whoa.
OK, that wasn’t good.”The moment was nearly too much for the veteran reporter, and he quickly added, “Um, we’ll probably go inside shortly, but you can see the amount of water here on the ground.”Of course, the dramatics were heightened when CNN cut to fellow anchor Kaitlan Collins, who assured “very concerned” viewers that “Anderson is OK.”As she explained, “[It’s] just obviously understandably difficult to establish a connection when you’re seeing what’s happening with the wind and the rain and obviously the deteriorating conditions by the minute.”Naturally, the internet was freaking out over both the crush-worthy newscaster’s safety in the dangerous storm and his dedication to covering the story.CNN got my boy Anderson Cooper out there fighting for his life pic.twitter.com/hJoMcGG3cVwhy they.
