Last observed value at 3:36pm EDT was at 4.15 ft. Safe to assume that 50 minutes later, it has been broken. Not hard to imagine a very dangerous situation unfolding inland now... Likely may be the hurricane doing this, but updates from here are very patchy. Is there a better way to see tidal gauges update than the AHPS site I linked to?

Easy to confuse or lose resources on a day like this. Yeah, so, already set a record level here and no sign of slowdown. I think it is safe to infer for those asking that surge flooding is in progress across Ft. Myers proper as well as much of Cape Coral. This will continue to rise over the next few hours. Bad bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Man I thought SE eyewall degrading and north wobbles could spare Cape Coral area a little, but SW eyewall decided to wrap in and probably is gonna deliver some really bad surge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Entire eye almost completely inland now. Maybe another 15-30 min. NW eye wall still looking vicious. Western and southwestern eye wall still yet to move onshore. Should do so over the next 30-60 min and Boca Grande to Sanibel could take it on the chin again. Water still being pushed onshore south of the eye near Fort Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
