I'm not questioning them but I'm a little surprised.  Based on radar Sanibel and Captiva look to be only in the western eye wall.  Always thought center had to cross land to be considered landfall.  Additional landfall to come on the mainland.

Nowhere in that link is landfall mentioned, just that the eyewall is starting to come onshore.

Ian looks at his best. Beautiful CDO. Symmetrical, uniform cold cloud tops. Firing on all cylinders. First full Appearance of a cat 5 from a satellite standpoint imo.

Amazing satellite presentation.  Maintaining intensity right up to the coast with no degradation whatsoever - none.  We are watching something rare unfold.

Reminiscent of Michael, TBX shows the core in the best shape I’ve seen all morning.

Yep, presentation looks like it should be cover of a textbook. That EWRC yesterday was at the worst possible time clearly. Eye probably has the stadium effect. Captiva may be about to get into the eye.

Directly from the AMS glossary:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml

Landfall:
The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline. Because the strongest winds in a tropical cyclone are not located precisely at the center, it is possible for a cyclone's strongest winds to be experienced over land even if landfall does not occur. Similarly, it is possible for a tropical cyclone to make landfall and have its strongest winds remain over the water. Compare direct hit, indirect hit, and strike.

Based on radar, if trends continue, a landfall on Boca Grande seems likely. 8 miles or so south of the official track

Going to be real close to that area.  Water is going to rapidly pile into Gasparilla Sound / Charlotte Harbor on that track.  Those homes on Boca Grande are well built - we're about to find out how well built.

This webcam is still live on Sanibel.  I am surprised that the visibility is so good and few trees down.  They have to be in the eyewall.  https://www.mysanibel.com/live-street-cams?utm_campaign=SanCapChamber&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=SanCapChamber

The webcam called periwinkle and casa ybel W. shows the surge coming in on Sanibel When I checked this webcam a few minutes ago the water was just reaching this area. Now look at it.

It looks like Sarasota/Bradenton is going to get blasted by the western eye wall 

We'll probably see some land confirmations soon for the stronger northern eye wall. Headed for Venice and Sarasota as you said. Thankfully for them the surge won't be too bad. Charlotte Harbor and Cape Coral though.... :yikes:

Posting the link again. 

https://www.mysanibel.com/live-street-cams?utm_campaign=SanCapChamber&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=SanCapChamber#

The surge has risen several feet in the past few minutes at Periwinkle & Casa Ybel West

Yep, I'm watching the windows on that yellow house to see how high it gets.  Hope we don't lose the camera.

Ian already showing the difference between he and Charley.  Its one thing dealing with 150 mph winds.....a whole other thing dealing with that and tsunami like storm surges.  the reverse surge out of Tampa Bay is wild.  Historic storm, no other way to describe it.
