This is a local story for us. Everyone is accounted for with only two MINOR injuries.

The plane is in VERY shallow water just off the end of runway 9 (east bound) at NAS Jax

The plane was landing in light winds (<6 kts) when a sudden, very brief, thunderstorm passed over the runway from west to east. This was the same direction as the plane was landing. There is speculation, no hard facts, that there may have been a down-burst. This would have caused a sudden lost of lift

Given that there was sudden heavy rain, I think the plane was unable to stop. It certainly wasn't going very fast when it went off the runway.
