The CNN anchor was live on the air covering Hurricane Milton when an object came flying in. WASHINGTON — CNN anchor Anderson Cooper got hit in the face with what appeared to be storm debris while reporting about Hurricane Milton. Cooper was live on CNN Wednesday night in Bradenton, Florida, showing viewers what the storm surge looked like when an object came flying into the frame and smacked him. CNN shared a video Thursday morning that showed some of their coverage throughout the night, including the moment Cooper got hit. Milton caused at least four deaths and compounded the misery wrought by Helene while sparing Tampa a direct hit.
