He’s had it as much as here with Hurricane Ian.
A Weather Channel reporter abandoned a daunting Hurricane Ian live shot Wednesday after a booming thunderclap exploded nearby.
The helmeted correspondent was gamely reporting amid driving rains in Punta Gorda when the skies suddenly cracked above him.
The reporter abruptly stopped talking, jerkily hopped to at least one side and looked up on the sky before pacing away from the frame while shaking his head.
One other reporter — also struggling to maintain her cool in one other hurricane-ravaged area — took over the segment at that time.
“Things have gotten pretty rough here,” she said understatedly while attempting to remain upright within the face of flying palm tree branches and sideways rain.
Hurricane Ian’s eye was expected to set its sights on Punta Gorda Wednesday after deluging Naples with record storm surges.
Famed for fearlessly reporting in punishing conditions, Weather Channel correspondents have been deployed cross Florida to document Ian’s ongoing devastation.
