But things took a dramatic turn when a piece of flying debris - a large piece of wood, according to reports - came hurtling toward him. It missed Cooper, thankfully, but the near miss was enough to make even the most experienced reporter jump.
The incident quickly went viral, with many viewers expressing concern for Cooper's safety and praising his courage. After all, it takes a special kind of bravery to put yourself in the line of fire, literally, to bring us the news.
This incident highlights the dangers reporters face every day, especially when covering natural disasters. It reminds us that while we may be safely watching from our living rooms, the reporters out there are risking their lives to bring us the news we need.
