MattPetrulli Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Eye appears to have contracted a little bit and wobbled north. Frictional convergence really tightening up the eastern eyewall. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference here isn't much though, like a foot and a half Yeah tide departures get higher the farther north you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Current storm motion is really bad for Fort Myers, puts them in the SE eye wall, plus all the surge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks really bad, but I take what Siedel says with a grain of salt after watching him "struggle" in wind while people walked behind him. He may be telling the truth, hard to tell. 3 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference here isn't much though, like a foot and a half Thanks for clarifying. The pic was labeled 12:54 PM and the caption said, "...more than 7 hours before high tide...", seemingly not quite correct. And the small tidal variation in most of the Gulf would mean only a tiny benefit of a low-tide LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The shots from Ft. Myers are mindblowing. How high is that surge cam? It's about to be engulfed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotair Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 If I’m right, the peak storm surge in the area of LF is still yet to come when the SW eyewall starts coming on shore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach were always in trouble. I’m more curious about what is happening behind the barrier islands.
