During a live weather broadcast on Tuesday night, a large flying cockroach landed on the on‑air reporter and began crawling up her chest and neck.
Despite the insect’s presence, she continued delivering the forecast, noting that temperatures remained in the 80s and that nighttime cooling was limited, which reduces recovery time from daytime heat.
After the segment ended, she brushed the cockroach off, explaining that she deliberately stayed focused to complete the report rather than reacting to the unexpected visitor.
She later said the insect was drawn to the warm environment and the bright camera lights, making the encounter a byproduct of the heat conditions she was describing.
Colleagues praised her composure and professionalism, highlighting her ability to maintain poise under an unusual and distracting circumstance.
