Just said the camera being covered is 12 feet of surge And it's 12 feet above ground level (if the camera is 12 feet above ground). The actual surge would probably be 15-16 feet or whatever it is above the normal water level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Fort Myers Ground zero. No break from the eye, constant southwest flow—brutal, wind, wave, surge combo for 6 hours. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a couple hundred thousand in the last hour I think Numbers are going so fast because substations and main transmission lines are failing. Electric and telecommunications grids are taking a beating right now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPetrulli Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Looking ahead, NHC issuing hurricane warnings for SC/GA coast at 5 PM is a real possibility. Every global model with the 12z suite has it going under some type of deepening during the day Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 my cousin Denise did not evacuate McGregor Fort Myers, but she was able to send this still pic.

Unfortunately that's why mandatory evacuations are issued. We can't force you to leave, but no one is coming if/when you need assistance during the storm. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Am I hallucinating or does it look like the SW part of the eye wall could slide under Charlotte harbor and spare them the worst of the surge? Seems to be moving ENE now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Looks like Englewood, Murdock, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Lake Suzy are primed to get into the western and NW eye wall over next 30-90 minutes. Going to be bad. Fort Myers area in prime surge area they are getting lambasted by onshore flow and will continue to be for a while longer. Surge still rising there.
