This is located well behind the barrier islands in downtown, just northeast of the Caloosahatchee Bridge. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=tbw&gage=fmrf1 4.38 ft is the highest crest ever on that. We may double that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been wondering as well. Port Charlotte got some bad winds but may miss the 12-18 foot surge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Based on radar the entire eye should be inland over the next 60 min or so. TPC should be declaring a second landfall shortly near Lee and Charlotte County border. The NW eye wall looks absolutely vicious - roughly Englewood to Lake Suzy.

I just wanted to make the difference in that post because we were discussing if the surge had gotten bad in Cape Coral/Ft. Myers itself so I wanted to just let it be known that the pic of the serious flooding was older and from the beach area. We have yet to see what it is like in DT Ft. Myers/Cape Coral. Hopefully not as bad as at the beach? Later video showed houses in water up to the eaves there(Ft. Myers Beach). And they were one story houses filmed from a landing on a two story house.

Brian5671 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Cape Coral getting reports of significant structural damage across the city, emergency officials say From CNN’s Naomi Thomas Ryan Lamb, fire chief and emergency management director of Cape Coral, Florida, told CNN the city is getting reports of significant structural damage. “We’re getting reports of significant structural damage across our city, as well as significant rain,” Lamb said. Lamb said that they have seen some storm surge as it pushed in the opposite direction to a limited degree and are now bracing as it potentially pushes toward a lot of the population mass and as the flow pushes into the city’s river and canal system. The significant calls that have been coming in are from people still in their homes who have experienced some type of roof, window or door failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Not hearing anything out of Bonito Springs at all. They have had onshore winds very close to the eyewall for hours. Has to be an absolute disaster there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last observed value at 3:36pm EDT was at 4.15 ft. Safe to assume that 50 minutes later, it has been broken. Not hard to imagine a very dangerous situation unfolding inland now... Likely may be the hurricane doing this, but updates from here are very patchy. Is there a better way to see tidal gauges update than the AHPS site I linked to?

Easy to confuse or lose resources on a day like this. Yeah, so, already set a record level here and no sign of slowdown. I think it is safe to infer for those asking that surge flooding is in progress across Ft. Myers proper as well as much of Cape Coral. This will continue to rise over the next few hours. Bad bad situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
