ABC News Anchor Reports from Florida Amidst Hurricane Milton

ABC News anchor David Muir, famous for his roles on ‘World News Tonight‘ and ‘20/20‘, took on a dangerous assignment by traveling to Florida to report on the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. During the Thursday morning broadcast of ‘Good Morning America‘, Muir was introduced as one of the journalists on the ground assessing the storm’s devastation.

Muir was dressed in an ABC News rain jacket, marking a stark contrast to his usual suited appearance at the anchor desk. Addressing his co-anchors Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts, who remained in New York’s studios, Muir provided a detailed account of the storm’s impact.

The program’s social media followers expressed concern for Muir and the rest of the ‘Good Morning America’ team, urging them to stay safe during their coverage. Notably absent was ‘Good Morning America’ anchor Lara Spencer, who took to social media to explain her absence from the broadcast. “Not on GMA today so I can attend a dear friend’s father’s homegoing service in Texas,” Spencer wrote, while also expressing condolences to those affected by the hurricane.

Muir’s broadcast from Florida is a testament to his long and storied career in journalism, which began as an intern at WTVH in Syracuse, New York. “A lot of reporting is just listening,” Muir said during a Q&A at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding in journalism.
