28-year-old Kevin Kearney was kite surfing Monday when a huge gust of wind from Tropical Storm Fay blew down the beach and took him by surprise.

The wind picked Kearney up and slammed him onto the sandy beach. Then, he was dragged across the sand before being lifted up into the air again and blown across the street where the wind slammed him into a building.
