What's happening to my yard??

My St. Augustine grass didn't die, it just sort of disappeared suddenly in the last week and only weeds are left. It's over an area of about 20'x20'. On the right side of the picture you can see the grass but on the left side you can see where it just went away. WTF?
Is there anything I can do to reverse this?

Do you see little white moths in your yard? Because yours looks like mine and is textbook sod webworm damage (they are the larvae of the white moths).

Like the pervious poster, I'd bet it's army worms.

It's sod webworms. Get some granular talstar and treat every 14-21 days or call a professional and have them treat it. It the lawn goes untreated, you will end up with a lawn full of weeds, assuming it's not already at that point.

Oh, and don't fertilize. Let it recover naturally after treatment. The moths are attracted to new, succulent growth. Fertilizer will compound your problem. Where are you located? I own a spraying company. May be able to treat it if your nearby.

Well I did just fertilize recently. The yard looked amazing then suddenly this happened. Going to Lowe's to get a treatment myself. If it doesn't work I may call someone.
