The Weather Channel

Both South Carolina and Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore got hit Tuesday, kind of at the same time. For South Carolina, it was Winter Storm Leon. For Cantore, it was some dude.

Cantore handled both:

According to Cantore’s bio for The Weather Channel, he “is an avid skier, golfer and gardener.” There’s no mention of mixed martial arts. On his Twitter account, Cantore retweeted a quieter, less attacker-filled moment before filming in Charleston, S.C., then went right back to tweeting about the weather.
