This happened on Ft. Lauderdale Beach yesterday.
One report I heard said he was in critical condition. Other reports say he’ll be OK.
On a side note, my aunt was evacuated to Orlando yesterday because of possible flooding in the Port Charlotte area, but was back home this afternoon. She’s very tired but OK otherwise. She’s doing pretty good for 93.
Update: This is the 2nd video I posted. The other one became “unavailable” shortly after I posed it. Let’s see how long this one is available.
Says it’s no longer available

“Hey, dudes! I have an AWESOME idea! Let’s go kite-surfing in the tropical storm!”
How stupid do you have to be to strap yourself to a kite during a tropical storm?
I heard the news (in Australia) and first thought of you and then remembered you don’t live there and then wondered about your Aunt. I was going to message but felt a bit stalker about it all, so thanks for the up date!! Glad she’s ok!
Kite surfing wall slamming is that an olympic sport? Should be.
Whats with the news anchorman to Karate chops midway through – very entertaining!
I was going to complain about having to sit through 4 minutes of nothing to see the kite surfer, but seeing Harry get caught making those weird hand gestures while the governor was talking made it worth it.
of course if he was indian jones he would be perfectly fine. God that movie sucked
