First off, Jim Cantore, perhaps the greatest of hurricane reporters, did the usual thing he does and went out to try to stand out in the storm as 110mph winds hit Punta Gorda.

Unlike any other time he's done this, he actually got taken out by the storm - or more-so a tree branch that came down the street and swept his feet out from under him.
