MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 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). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotair Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
