tiger_deF Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Really serious situation with my extended family... last I heard from them 20 minutes ago the water was up to their necks in their house in the Royal Woods neighborhood of Ft. Myers, and they are too old and weak to swim for a higher building. How much more is the water expected to rise? The eye should be over them now based on radar, how long before Ft. Meyers gets the backside of the storm? If they have some time maybe they could float to somewhere more elevated... Any information would be really appreciated, I am extremely worried and my stepfather is in hysterics. 2 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Surge pictures are incredible. Watching CNN right now with Bill Weir in Punta Gorda currently in the eye. I must say the wind damage is surprisingly less than I would expect from a strong Cat 4. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida will bounce back quick. Same with NC/SC and IN/OH. Utilities help each other out, especially after they've solidified their own system. They will start with the backbone, if affected, and move towards the remotest lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katrina survivors were able to get in their attic and then bust through with hammers axe or whatever and climb above when winds died down 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I keep thinking back to Charley and the wind damage in a narrow swath. This is catastrophic damage in city after city after city. I just saw an LSR about airboat rescues going on all the way down in Everglades City. This is Florida’s generational storm.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I feel like it's pretty normal for the highest surge to be pretty far from the center. Maybe Naples is actually pretty much in the highest surge zone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 No news or clips coming out of Cape Coral, that’s never a good sign.

Wind damage, tidal flooding appear to be the biggest damage makers so far. Only a few reports of small tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I think this has a shot at eclipsing Katrina for the most outlying Us hurricane. Naples Alone is a very wealthy area. All the homes with salt water flooding need to be gutted. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabehippie Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 AT 526 PM EDT, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED EXTREME WINDS, ASSOCIATED WITH THE EYEWALL OF HURRICANE IAN, WERE MOVING ONSHORE OVER CHARLOTTE COUNTY AIRPORT, OR NEAR PUNTA GORDA. THE HURRICANE EYEWALL WAS MOVING SLOWLY NORTHEAST AT 5 MPH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION! as per TornadoHQ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
