Ft myers beach was under water. New Orleans during Katrina was under water. This is inundation but not under water 2 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, was just not sure if they were already in the water. Maybe there was a way down without getting pummeled by the rocks. I heard a cop call for rescue.

eyewall Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Some solid gusts here in Raleigh. 59mph atop Carter Finley Stadium (NC State) and certainly 40-50 at the surface. You can hear the groan just off the deck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Fort Myers Beach Aerial Footage Not a whole lot to say. Any buildings still standing close to the coast are likely built recently to current code both against wind and surge. The hotels probably fairly well although there are a few (like the one at the 8:30 mark) with major roof damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandy Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Good riddance to Ian. One of the wildest storms I’ve ever tracked. There are so many lessons to be learned from all agencies / weather enthusiasts from this storm. one last note to add: the comparison of charley and Ian is such a great case study of how size really really matters, and how two category 4 150 mph storms are not the same animal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct, thankfully! That was what the UKMET had been suggesting since the 12Z 9/26 run with no runs since then closer than Charleston for landfall even while the Euro and GFS continued to have landfalls in this area for several days afterward. Our highest winds were only near 40 mph (in a couple of gusts) and we got only 0.75" of rain. There were virtually no power outages thank goodness. We got hit much harder by the precursor to Colin on July 1st, which gave us 4" of rain within 3 hours and some flooding. That center was much closer to us as it passed within only ~30 miles to the E and SE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonParkHoya Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Things have kind of died down here in Raleigh and looks like the edge is nearing. Overall, much more similar to a January nor’easter than a cane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I've watched numerous vids of the damage. My heart is torn to shreds. Poor people, homes are gone, they are homeless and refugees and their neighborhoods are no more. We need to send lots and lots of aid! Floridians need our help like never before! I might go down there with a Jebman Shovel and try to dig sand off the Ft Myers roadways. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost like what happened at Panama City Beach/Mexico Beach/Port St. Joe with Michael. Michael was more intense (eventually confirmed as a Cat 5 at landfall) but in either case, anything not poured concrete as a structure, was just obliterated, whether from the surge and/or from the winds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Devastating. I wanna know how you move 50 ton boats off land? Cranes I suppose? But then where do they go? Do they make trucks big enough to haul them? Is there also boat salvage/graveyards? At work today I did get a work order for a JC Penney’s store in Fort Myers requesting an electrician to turn off the main switch gear. I was able to get in touch with someone to get it done. I thought it would be days. Floridians are good folks. I could never live there though. It’s too humid and I love my four seasons here in SE PA. Best wishes going out to all here that are effected. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
