Ian already showing the different between he and Charley.  Its one thing dealing with 150 mph winds.....a while 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.

Yeah, sad to think that all that water going out some place is coming back in at another place. It's really like a mound and like we're seeing, something like a tsunami.

The brown ocean effect won't save Ian from all that dry air that it's going to wrap into its circulation later today.  We should actually see Ian weaken faster than normal when compared to other landfalling hurricanes in Florida.

That drum has been banged and has failed repeatedly. Yes eventually they all do weaken but it’s not shear nor dry air that’s doing it while the eye is over water.  Inland it will weaken because it’s inland so will see if “dry air/shear” crowd will chirp some more

Yep-everything to the left is all miles of houses. It is coming out of the canals now. Those fences on the far left and far right are almost covered now-at least a foot rise in 15 minutes maybe?

It looks like the Orlando area will get what’s left of the Western eyewall tonight and tomorrow AM. Could be the worst storm in WDW history.

It'll be a candidate with the rain and wind.  They had the 90-100+ mph gusts in Charley, but Ian looks to produce a helluva lot more rain.

,based on current radar trends surge may be worse in Cape Coral than Port Charlotte. Absolute highest surge may go between the two population centers.

The bumps east in the last hour or two have made it much more serious in Cape Coral/Ft Myers. Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda may relatively luck out. Cape Coral looks like it has about double the population as Charlotte Harbor. 

Captiva may be getting into the eye now.
