Looks like Englewood, Murdock, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Lake Suzy are primed to get into the western and NW eye wall over next 30-90 minutes.  Going to be bad.  Fort Myers area in prime surge area they are getting lambasted by onshore flow and will continue to be for a while longer.  Surge still rising there.

They’re in for huge surge in Ft Myers for hours still. When the eye passes, wind will turn west which is still right into the bay. And that’s when the big surge into Charlotte Harbor will start (not as bad as Ft Myers/Cape Coral).

Based on radar at 3:00 center of the eye looks to be right over northern end of Pine Island - near Pineland / Bokeelia on the northern end of the island.

I know someone on pine island, lives right on a canal. No idea why they are there still, setting up a Skylink in the eye. Not too bad so far, so they say, but that's because they are on the north end of the island and the surge is not on for them yet.

Think TPC has a typo there.  It can't be 20 miles west of both those locations.

NOAA Doppler radar imagery indicates that the eye of Ian made
landfall along the southwestern coast of Florida near Cayo Costa
around 305 PM EDT (1905 UTC). Data from an Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft indicate that Ian's maximum sustained winds
were estimated to be near 150 mph (240 km/h). The latest minimum
central pressure estimated from reconnaissance data is 940 mb
(27.75 inches).

150mph 940mb now. Don't think we saw a cat 5 landfall but it was real close

Extremely close. They may upgrade that pre-landfall period on reanalysis, but it looked to me that Ian got right up to the line and maybe pulled back a bit based on the recon observations.

No difference for the landfall zone, though. The damage there will be catastrophic.

Definitely. Impacts are the same whether it was cat 4 or 5. Absolutely devastating

The combination of 150 mph winds, storm surge and the fact Ian is taking it’s sweet time sightseeing at 9 mph means the people along the track will be sitting in 5+ hours of hurricane strength winds.   
 

Loss of life is unfortunately a high possibility with this one, especially given the older population and stubbornness against evacuation.
