NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -Terrifying video shows The Weather Channel’s meteorologist Jim Cantore come dangerously close to being impaled by storm debris on live television.
Cantore, who is known for being up close and personal with dangerous storms, was in Panama City Beach, Florida reporting live when a 2X4 flies towards him.
