This is one of the top stories on WNBC.com: "Wilma Knocks 'Today' Show's Al Roker Off His Feet."

"As a crew member held his ankles, Roker began to do a live report from Naples, Fla. He had just started when a gust of wind suddenly blew him off his feet." Public Eye sums up the dialogue:

rokeroct202.jpg"You know, Matt," Roker explained to Lauer in New York, "our truck operator, Tom, said, 'Don't you wish you had your weight back?' Right about now I do," shouted Roker.

No sooner than the words escaped him, Roker went down with a thud.

"Oh!" exclaimed Katie and Matt. "Are you okay??"

"We're okay. We're okay," Roker responded, as a third crew member entered the shot to assist them. "We're coming inside."

"Yeah. Do that, Al," said Katie, then assuring viewers that Al was "fine."

Here are still images and a video clip...
