CNN had him set up in Bradenton, Florida, and the clips of him being beaten and battered by the storm are going viral.

You could barely see him!

Ultimately, it seems like everyone is in agreement with this person: "Assuming Anderson Cooper isn’t swept out to sea tonight, our next group watch of him will be when he’s drunk off one shot of tequila on NYE."
