I saw a replay of it on our local NBC station. Al was out in the wind in Naples and it was blowing. There was a guy on the ground with his arms wrapped around Al's legs, trying to hold him steady. Then the wind appears to pick up a big more and Al goes down. A third man rushs out of the building to pull both of them back in.
It looked like the picture that KNBC was showing was not quite the same feed that the Today Show was broadcasting. It appeared to be a slightly larger view that included part of the doorway -- in addition to the "leglock" guy. The local KNBC announcer did say something about not hiding the full story from the audience.
Large water main break in Naples just reported. All of Naples is without water and power. Most of Gulf Shore Blvd. is under water.
Strong gusts hit, power on and off a few times, then heard transformers popping. Local effect or is this what central florida is getting now? Lights out at casa NVA in Palm Bay, saving ups to run the cable modem and running laptop off batteries. Hurricane lamp lit for first time this year, hopefully the last.
If anyone has a video clip of that, post it here. Everyone in my office got a laugh about the canoe lady. Of course, if he hadn't lost all that weight, he wouldn't have needed to be held down. LOL
