Tropics

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.

Looks like landfall of eye just made at Cape Coral:

HOLY SHIT this water cam is 10' -12' high and is almost underwater - insane its still operating

TWC has a webcam 6 ft up in ft myers beach at hotel and it is under water at times water dips to show the fury.

This is sick - 185 mph winds at 934 mb

IAN goes back out over the Hotlantic and strengthens to a CAT 1 before making a second landfall somewhere in the Charleston region.

Don't doubt the EURO!!

Showing Naples and under water cars at cover

WTH is this baby Ian spawning off teh coast?? I've never seen such, anyone care to chime in please explain

My brother is riding it out in Cape Coral. I'll let you guys know how he makes out. The only concern he had where he is is the roof. He has hurricane shutters and put his trucks against the garage door so it doesn't blow in, his house is on a little knoll about 15' above street level. He prepped all last week, cases of water, extra propane for the grill, filled his very large car size propane tank that supplies his generator. Not sure when I'll hear from him... They just talked to the fire chief in Cape Coral on CNN, he said surge wasn't too bad first time through, but concerned about the back end surge... preliminary damage reports are some roofs damaged/blown off.

Wow

You guys see what Euro, CMC and ICON try to do with the remnanats, we get some rain looks like Sat (how likely is that, I have outdoor plans in NJ) and then a LP reforms a TD? off jersy shore and skims to the ENE. Ian still has surprises.

Any idea when conditions will improve in Fort Myers Beach? Father in law decided to ride it out at home. Has already had to evacuate to a neighbor’s house that is raised and has a second story. Looking to see when we might feel more comfortable that he’s in the clear.

Naples and Ft. Myers are wiped. They are showing a rescue and the water is above the cars

My buddy in Ft Meyers hasn’t responded to me but his son texted me this from a short while ago. His house and the neighbor across the way are up about 6’ relative the road that is in between them. But if you zoom in on the house in the top left of the image he said that’s what the majority of the neighborhood looks like.

I think with that one car looking like it is running, he is using the inverter to power a light or whatever else can be run like laptop, cell phone

OMG. Look the storm surge has begun to rush in through bottom floor of this Naples, FL condo. There’s reports that people are in water up to their chins inside of their homes. They’re asking for helicopter evacs ASAP!
