Hurricane Ian

Great point here by Brian.  Though Ian's intensity and track leading up to landfall is very similar to Charley, Ian is much larger than Charley! This will lead to a higher storm surge and much larger area impacted by destructive storm surge and winds.

 

My family road through Charley in 2004 in Punta Gorda (when they thought it was going to Tampa), they actually were able to go out in the eye... they were spared the storm surge that some feared.

I'm very very concerned this time for the region. No longer have family ties to the area, but it's a beautiful place up and down that coast.

I really hope people are prepared for this... Ian looks like it will be the new storm that sets the bar for this region, and Charley was already devestating. Prayers to everyone in SWFL.

Lot of lightning all over the eyewall in the last hour. Truly a stunning scene on satellite and radar.
 
We’re on a terrible run right now of Gulf storms intensifying before landfall. Prayers for SW Florida. 

Water temps in the high 80s will do that. It’s a new era.
Allot of the it’s Florida we know hurricanes crowd is in for a big surprise

Unbelievable.

We starting to get close to the time where minor jogs will depend who gets the SE eyewall. Looking at Sanibel and Cape Coral in particular.  Regardless though, Ian has a large core and it going to effect a large area of populated real estate.

On current trajectory it would be more like Venice to Bradenton. Tampa Bay gets Western eye (which is bad with 155 mph winds) and Port Charlotte gets surge.
