Said it last night and I'll repeat - total disaster is unfolding for the Cape Coral area. I hope people got out.

The SW eyewall being stronger reminds me of Ike and how the upper dynamics enhanced that side.

Note that the NHC's 12-16 ft surge into Port Charlotte/Ft. Myers is for the BEACH. Surge up the Caloosahatchee river into Ft. Myers could be 20-24 ft. See the NHC's inundation graphic for the region. MANY areas under 9+ ft of water this afternoon. Far as I can tell, this will be the worst hurricane ever to strike the area. Charley in 2004 was strong, but tiny compared to Ian. Ian will be retired.
Port Charlotte is going to be crushed. PC and Englewood could be in the eyewall for hours. :shock:

I hope everyone GTFO.

The backside of Harvey was bad coming into Rockport, too.

Bolvar Pen. wasn't prepared for that backside washover with Ike. Unfortunately, quite a few tried to ride it out.

UTMB was flooded by the backside surge. The seawall held on the Gulf side.

Yeah, Cape Coral is going to see the onshore side of the eyewall. There are winds at 10K of 170+ mph on both the NW and SE sides of the eyewall now. There is no escape.

Oh, partly because of the southern path, but Ian has been virtually immune to the shear winds.

Even if slow moving over land, Ian could pack a punch for a long, long time.

Ft. Myers Beach is going to be 9 feet underwater.

Sanibel Island has to be underwater now. Getting crushed.

Venice is in the crosshairs of that northern eyewall.

That wind shear did absolutely nothing, and now their is video footage of people swimming in the storm surge, natural selection at its finest!

Everything is a projectile. smh

Sanibel Island had got to be wiped off the map by now. The island is currently 90% underwater not even really an island anymore currently. Unfortunately I think many like Sanibel and other areas will look like Bolivar after hurricane Ike. Hope folks heeded warning and left. Prayers for FL. We know all too well what they are going through.

I have a bad feeling about this. It is going ever so slowly and bringing wind, rain and surge on top of that.
From the recon flight earlier today..

When I say this was the roughest flight of my career so far, I mean it. I have never seen the bunks come out like that. There was coffee everywhere. I have never felt such lateral motion. Aboard Kermit (#NOAA42) this morning into Hurricane #Ian. Please stay safe out there. https://t.co/DQwqBwAE6v pic.twitter.com/gvV7WUJ6aS

Once the backside of the eyewall starts coming in its really going to tear things up.

We have landfall now.

Houses will be covered and lifted away by the water. Ft. Myers, Sanibel, other barrier islands.

Hurricane #Ian makes landfall with 150 mph winds at Cayo Costa, Florida, the exact spot Category 4 Charley made landfall in 2004, also with 150 mph. About where the comparisons end. Ian with an enormous footprint of water that's only just begun. pic.twitter.com/ACn5CKaaW9

Enjoy this lower humidity and cool mornings while it lasts. Looks like a torch is coming after this.

Cpv17 maybe some low 90’s, but we are done with the extreme stuff, the NHC has around 90 degrees as our hottest temperature here over the next 10 days with lows in the 60’s, second summer is over and a slow transition to fall is beginning

Mainly a wind forecast as dry air continues to prevail. Easterly
winds this morning will gradually shift over to northeasterly by
the afternoon. Additionally, wind gusts up to 15-20 knots are
possible through the afternoon hours as a low-level jet streak
passes near the region. Winds become light and variable overnight
again and becomes northeasterly again around 10 knots on Thursday
morning.

I have a feeling this might last into December.
