A meteorologist covering Hurricane Ian was knocked off his feet by a tree branch as he reported on the extreme weather.
Jim Cantore was on the ground near Fort Myers, Florida, attempting to broadcast on the category 4 storm amid 61mph winds.

“I just can’t stand up,” he said afterwards, visibly struggling to move.
“Just give me a second,” he adds, grabbing onto a street sign for balance.
