Hurricane Ian, the first major storm to hit the area in over 100 years, sucks the water out of the bay as it approaches the Florida Gulf Coast, while other areas reported heavy flooding.
The storm force winds are pushing water out of the bay into the ocean and onto land in a process called reverse storm surge.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Ian had maximum sustained winds of 155 mph and a storm surge of 18 feet.
Shortly before 10 a.m., the National Weather Service warned against walking near the beach in Venice and Madeira Beach due to the water starting to fall.
Here's a look at the damage caused by Hurricane Ian.
