Anyone checking out the KW webcams?

I am trying to look at the Key West webcams. The Mallory Square view, Ocean view resort view and the sunset cam view look fine, except there don't seem to be any people at the resort or in Mallory Square! But Sloppy Joes looks closed--no one there and very dark, a little sliver of light that may be coming through boards on the windows--the Live Duval St. cam says "closed" and nothing comes up--and I can't get anything on Hogs Breath either.
I heard on the news that Charley was off the coast and did not get a direct hit on KW (as opposed to the Dry Tortugas, where the wind gage went out of service at 120 MPH), then DH saw Duval St. on Fox News and said it was pouring rain. I am hoping that footage was a few hours old and that perhaps things are better now--or they are just using stock footage for the web cams today!
*update--I think they are using some stock photos--the sebago water sports picture had sunshine, people and lots of craft in the water--but the southernmost resorts picture taken at 8:34 had trees whipping in the wind and stuff blown all over the beach! The Pelican cove pictures have less wind and were at 10:20 ish, but the hut they show is all closed and there are no people around. The sunny photos don't have any time identification, the stormy looking ones do.

I saw some footage on our local news. Key West looked BAD. They showed people at "The Southern Most Point" and the waves were coming up over the wall there. I'm not sure what time it was from, but I'm pretty sure it's not sunny there right now.

We're under a tropical storm warning and tornado watch here. It's VERY windy, but we haven't gotten any rain yet.
 
Later in the day the webcams looked better--I got the Live Duvall st. cam finally and it showed the business owner across the street removing the wood from his windows.
I also saw that footage of the two people by the "southernmost point" buoy as waves crashed over it. What morons! If that storm had been close enough for a larger surge they'd be out in the ocean!
It's good now to see people back to business at Hog's Breath, although Sloppy Joes is still closed, and the live cam on Duvall St. is showing cars but no people walking by, on a Friday night!
