On http://www.nbc-2.com, they had been showing a live shot from Gull Wing (Hotel?). You could see the beach for a long time...the past hour or so...and just a few minutes ago, the water just washed up covering all the grass, a beach chair floated into the picture, and now there's nothing but water!

This live feed is incredible! I've been glued to it for over an hour, not getting much work done today but how can you when this is going on. My prayers go out to all those in the path.

Ive seen the videos and they are pretty incredible. One that left my mouth on the floor was the video of the reporter in Charlotte Harbor. He shot about 40 minutes before the eyewall passed over and he could not stand. The only way he could report was to get on his knees. The winds were probably near 100 I would think.
