Not really too shocking what happened to this guy considering the "cross wind" that usually comes with a tropical storm/hurricane.

But did the guy survive that beating?

Don't know, it was raw footage.

Rough weather seems to put Darwinism to the challenge quite often. If not this guy, the surfers looking for that big wave or the fun bunch at the beach bars. Too bad the rational rescue workers are usually the ones put at greater risk because of the careless activities.

I wonder if the conversation went something like "Bubba, hold my beer"?

It didn't look good toward the end of the footage....

Other news reports say he was in critical condition last night.

CNN TV has just reported that the guy is in the hospital in critical condition.

Just saw one report that said he ignored warnings to leave the beach and was picked up by a forming waterspout...

oh man that was awesome! Looked like a scene out of Hancock.
So far this storm is a dud but I'm sure he doesn't feel that way.

It'll probably end up in the new Tim Dorsey book.

That's not good for anyone, definitely a canidate for the Darwin Awards. Always seems to be someone like this who likes to mess with Mother Nature....
