Charlotte Harbor lucked out. Maybe the eastern shore got hit with surge as the eye pulled away but the big surge looks to be from Naples up to Sanibel. The major impact for Punta Gorda was wind, and I’m sure they got rocked. I wonder if it was worse than Charley. Probably lasted longer. 

Highest surge so far 11 feet.

It looks like NASA made the right decision moving the Artemis rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building.   If Ivan stays on the current course it looks to exit the east coast around Melbourne. That would put Cape Canaveral in the remnants of the north eye wall. I don’t think that rocket was designed to withstand that kind of wind and rain.

Severe studios cam there was that elevation and was submerged pretty early on.

The surge would be that height above ground level plus the height above normal water level. So if a location is 13 feet above normal water level, 10 feet above ground level, and got flooded the surge was at least 13 feet. The surge is the height above the normal water level at that time.

Ivan? 
Plus no rocket should get hit with lightning, which is a possibility as well.

You are correct. I shouldn’t have said underwater.  They’ve been crushed with high winds but the storm surge is not what fort Myers is experiencing 

 

edit:  this is the video I had based my statement on.  It claimed to be from punta gorda

I've been watching some chasers all day and don't recall that kind of flooding. In fact they were showing all the blow-out tides.  I did see pics/vids similar to that for Naples and Ft. Meyers.  Punta Gorda is getting the heavy rains, flooding , and some surge in the low-lying/beach areas now.

Yes that is was what I was saying.

I know a couple who lives in Fort Myers Beach. She and her husband live on the highest part of the island and did not evacuate. Could they have survived such a surge?

We just heard from our relatives in Cape Coral and they are shaken but OK.  Their neighborhood is flooded but knee deep not head deep. However, I am uncertain if water levels are still rising in that area or not?

Im so confused by this post. Storm surge is exactly what Fort Myers is experiencing. Punta Gorda got blasted by those backside eyewall winds but looks like they avoided significant surge. 
 

Also that video you posted has “City of Naples” written on the side of the door of the fire truck. People need to stop trusting these twitter posts from random accounts without verification.

Any surge reports from Sarasota? Family there and I can’t reach, they’re on the water. 

Haven’t seen much from there. Looking at obs winds were out of the N or NE all day so surge shouldn’t of been an issue. They got some hurricane force gusts however.

Think they dodged the worst, but still had some bad weather and flooding for sure.

Thanks - I knew they had strong winds all day. I got video from them around 11 am of the ocean being sucked away from their dock (it was WILD) but nothing since and it appears cell service is dead for them.

Yeah I think cell service is tanked in that whole corridor! But pretty certain they made out okay!
