Yup surge is coming.
I hate to be this but Saniabel, Captiva, Punta Gorda and areas of Ft Meyers get flattened. Why peeps did not get out is mind boggling. My Aunt in Venice Beach place is expected 8' of storm surge here place and brand new development of 100's of homes will be destroyed sadly.

MY GOD!! He's a tempest!!

From USA wx

The whole circled area is 165 mph winds - God help anyone in its path

Sadly I do not think that dry air is impacting him at all, you can see the dry area but core is still tight. I think it is too late at this point.

Yup models had the true dry air infiltrating with the more northerly solns. With it coming in towards Ft Meyers and Punta Gorda there just wasnt enough time. Plus it was the combo of the dry air and westerlky shear, but the bulk of the significant shear is well out over the GOM.

Camile 2.0 220 mph wind gusts

Even the Pro Hurricane Hunters got jolted.

Crazy!

I have flown storms for the last six years. This flight to Hurricane #Ian on Kermit (#NOAA42) was the worst I’ve ever been on. I’ve never seen so much lightning in an eye.

This was the eye. You can see the curvature. Understand this is at NIGHT. The light is from LIGHTNING. pic.twitter.com/cfZ9ls6YD3

Insame, I did not even think a gust that high was possible in a 155mph storm. What time is landfall approx, i see that hurricane windfield is over land already. Any webcams still working, both the ones posted went out.
