Absolute destruction. So many retired folks have lost everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkMiG8BIeso Any pics/video links? I saw this drone video of Port Charlotte, there certainly is some wind damage, especially to mobile homes, but none completely destroyed. Well built homes held up well it looks. Lots of standing water. I am pretty sure they had worse winds in Charley. I am also sure there of some areas with worse wind damage than this.

CampergirlFL Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Reporting in from Plant City area. No power, windy night. Camper still dry and unharmed in the driveway, likely due to the house blocking the worst winds. Weather station on the back fence logging max peak gust of 43.2. Very, very lucky. . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual landfall point was in the cone from day 1. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2022/IAN_graphics.php?product=5day_cone_no_line_and_wind Honestly, the very first advisory they issued was really.....spot on..like, almost to the exact point of landfall.

It's like people don't understand that the "cone" represents only the potential path of the eye. Really, if one is in the cone or within the radius of the eye outside of the cone, preparations for an eyewall strike should be taken. And if they're within the radius of the hurricane force winds outside of the cone, then prepare for hurricane force winds. Likewise for TS force winds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s said is I even scrolled through Twitter and saw post from local Mets down there saying “we had little time to prepare” or “this was only suppose to be a weak hurricane” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecasts and the possible landfall due to the cone were different though. That is nobody's fault...just pointing it out. Sure the cone maybe said landfall could occur on the outer edge of it, but they were only under a TS warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 NHC was in a tough spot. After guidance started tilting the possibility of landfall to the SE on Monday....you can't just abandon Tampa either with such a large, vulnerable population. And guidance other than Ukie, did not show this until 18z Monday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 000WTNT44 KNHC 291500TCDAT4Tropical Storm Ian Discussion Number 28NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL0920221100 AM EDT Thu Sep 29 2022The center of Ian has emerged into the western Atlantic Ocean tothe north of Cape Canaveral. While satellite images show thesystem is becoming a hybrid cyclone, with frontal features outside of the core of Ian, the winds from multiple sources are notable. Velocity data from NWS Doppler radar indicate maximum winds of about 70-75 kt at 10,000 ft over land, and sustained winds of about 55 kt were recorded in the Daytona Beach area earlier this morning. These data support a higher initial intensity, now 60 kt for this advisory.The storm is moving northeastward at about 8 kt. Ian has stubbornly gone east of the track forecast for the past couple of days and has moved back over water faster than expected. A mid-level shortwave trough moving southward across the southern United States should turn Ian northward overnight and north-northwestward on Saturday. The official track forecast is shifted to the east, consistent with the latest consensus guidance.Ian should move over the Gulf Stream tonight and tomorrow for a longer period of time than previously anticipated, which should maintain Ian's central convection. Additionally, an increased pressure gradient on the northwestern side from a stationary front near the southeastern US, should provide a boost to the wind speeds on that side of the storm. We now expect Ian to become a hurricane again by this evening. As the system approaches South Carolina, Ian should maintain this intensity, and Hurricane Warnings have been issued for the entire coast of South Carolina. This scenario is consistent with the global and regional hurricane model guidance. It is worth noting that Ian is forecast to have atypical structure when it nears the southeastern United States, and strong winds will extend well ahead of the center, even on the northwestern side.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonPeon Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 This is unfortunately the reality of human behavior. The more defined a probabilistic forecast is, the more expectation there is of it. The NWS can say a million times that the center of the cone is not a track prediction, but people by and large cannot interpret probabilistic risk. We've never had things better in terms of lead time and prep, but as the forecast verifies more and more often, the more people will be angry about vacillations in increasingly less significant details of that forecast. Less significant in terms of public policy and risk management, not less significant in terms of their house. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to pretend to know anything about how mets or the NHC does things, but from my admittedly simplistic view and experience as a layperson, I think the easiest and most effective solution would be to hurricane warn any coastal area within the cone at T-36 hours of landfall.
