All that rain has no where to go, leaving streets flooded, even away from the shore. Any NOAA link with precipitation totals from stations available? Thanks.

Basically it’s when land is so saturated it acts as water which makes a hurricane over land weaken less. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_ocean_effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay sure dodged a bullet with Ian This is not necessarily important for GA/SC yet, but the farther eastward it goes, the faster it gets back over water and the more time it would have over water before the next landfall.

Katrina was a decent example in S FL, it's structure actually improved over the everglades iirc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 18z GFS has Ian back over water by 0z on Friday. Going to be a long night tonight, in to tomorrow for central, northern Florida in terms of rain and wind as Ian moves across. South east Florida should start to see improving conditions overnight tonight.A bit east of Orlando here. We’ve had rain nearly non-stop since around 10 last night, very heavy in the last two hours. Wind gusts are infrequent but we’ve had enough to bring a few branches down.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 19 minutes ago, jbenedet said: Really curious to know what’s going on in Tampa Bay Area right now. Have to imagine some severe coastal flooding all along the e south sections of the bay with the persistent northerly fetch. Not surprisingly, levels are running below there as well...Though a bit less than other sites in the bay area. The generally NE wind has been running nearly parallel to the length of the bay blowing out. This isn't really a situation where the water is going to stack up or has nowhere to go, as it is just existing into the Gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in Punta Gorda, where it took a while for the western eye to come in. It was probably worse (and far longer-lasting) a bit NW of there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power will be out for weeks or longer in some spots. Damage will be over a very wide area with major infrastructure destroyed in spots. Suspect some barrier islands will be uninhabitable for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mob1 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Englewood, then east and NE to Port Charlotte and North Port is where I expect the most wind damage from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Awhile ago Cape Coral Yauht Club 106 sustained gusting to 140mph. That would be on the backside with a north wind I would guess. That yacht club is right across from Ft Myers. The damage that is occurring in the Punta Gorda and Ft Myers on the backside must be catastrophic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANDA Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 That NW eye wall is just unforgiving - hence the strong gusts over 120 mph still coming in. NW of the center is where you are going to see the worst wind damage. Southeast of and near the center is where storm surge damage will dominate. Not going to be pretty when dawn breaks tomorrow.
