The 1919 Hurricane is counted as a 927 mb - 150 mph U.S. Landfall in the Dry Tortugas, so I do believe a landfall would count despite the lack of habitation. 

If it does make a DT landfall I can see it being a heck of a game show question 20 years from now.  Q - “Major Hurricane Ian which caused Billions in damage first made landfall in this part of the United States “   A - What is Dry Tortuga ?

This model is calling for Sanibel landfall

Our short-range high-resolution weather models are now close enough to landfall for a forecast. This is the High Resolution Rapid Refresh model. Comes out every hour. This run brings #Ian to Sanibel 2 pm

I usually hold my tongue, but he should know better than to use the HRRR. :lol:

EWRC looks almost complete. At least from radar perspective. Eye has filled in on IR satellite for now. Satellite presentation has temporarily degraded some but could see it start improving as it reorganizes overnight. Shear is the potential fly in the ointment. I'm thinking winds might be down on next recon and pressure either steady or up.

I really want to comment to this on Twitter but I feel it’s a waste of time. If he’s that ignorant to be using the HRRR right now it will be like talking to a brick wall to make a point. I really wish, as a local met down there, he will focus more on the environment and mesoscale instead of the HRRR’s ever so changing hourly landfall locations.

Big rains still look to be an issue there especially just S and E of the city.

Yeah, I am ignorant of what Tampa can handle in terms of 24 hour rain totals but 8-10" looks to be quite possible.  Even though they look to avoid the brunt of the hurricane force winds, I would imagine they will still have significant power outages based on the size of the TS wind field?

The new eye is about 40 miles across. Still has some work to do, but the EWRC appears to be mostly complete

COD radar loop suggests what is left of the original eye will probably merge w/ the new N-ern eyewall fairly soon.  https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=BYX-N0Q-0-6
