It is all brand new construction to latest building codes but seems it’s now under water. It’s gonna take a lot of flood insurance money to get those residents rebuilding yet again I don't see any evidence of Punta Gorda underwater based on live video throughout the event. The winds have not aligned to push water up Charlotte Harbor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the eastern shore got hit with surge as the eye pulled away but the big surge looks to be from Naples up to Sanibel. The major impact for Punta Gorda was wind, and I’m sure they got rocked. I wonder if it was worse than Charley. Probably lasted longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been crushed with high winds but the storm surge is not what fort Myers is experiencing edit: this is the video I had based my statement on.

So surge for that area was on the manageable side. Wind on the other hand was unrelenting as they were in the eye wall (NW eye wall especially) for a prolonged period. Like you said worse surge was from Boca Grande, Captiva, Sanibel on south to Fort Myers and Naples area. Big surge there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to imagine some severe coastal flooding all along the e south sections of the bay with the persistent northerly fetch. 1 hour ago, jbenedet said: I believe the biggest story will be rainfall. But the Tampa Bay Area is going to be right on the cut off for the heaviest. South/east sections get hit hard, north/west not bad at all. Primary impacts will likely be downed trees and power outages. 50K offline so far in city of Tampa, more across Hillsborough. 37 minutes ago, Hotair said: I left my home in South Tampa and evacuated to Lakeland. The cam videos of my home do not show more than gusty wind and light rain all afternoon. no flooding. Good decision to get out. Our webcams went off line and power is out in our South Tampa home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_WX Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It looks like NASA made the right decision moving the Artemis rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. If Ivan stays on the current course it looks to exit the east coast around Melbourne. That would put Cape Canaveral in the remnants of the north eye wall. I don’t think that rocket was designed to withstand that kind of wind and rain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surge would be that height above ground level plus the height above normal water level. So if a location is 13 feet above normal water level, 10 feet above ground level, and got flooded the surge was at least 13 feet. The surge is the height above the normal water level at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it is in the air it is different, as it is no longer grounded. Similar to an airplane. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they were showing all the blow-out tides. I did see pics/vids similar to that for Naples and Ft. Meyers. Punta Gorda is getting the heavy rains, flooding , and some surge in the low-lying/beach areas now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 PDS flash flood emergency, don’t see that combo too often. This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for South central Sarasota county, southeast Manatee, northwest Desoto, Hardee, and northwest Highlands counties. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
