Looks like northern burbs of Miami will take a hit

All toll roads in Central and Southern Florida are temporarily free of charge, spotted it from a FLDOT Camera.

Where? I'm trying to find the mesocyclone through FL511

New TVCN likes my track into Port Charlotte. Bad news for that area, as Ian could produce a 14-17 ft surge into Ft. Myers. Possibly as high as 20ft. Nothing but rain in Tampa.

They gonna close the post office and schools here all week for a summer thunderstorm event SMH.. i get it the evacs, things looked bad.But, come on closing down businesses and schools for the whole week, when its just a rain event?

WIthout knowing precise landfall location, it's necessary.

Also, power will be out. Schools/businesses won't be fun places with no electricity.

Cell with a hook is still offshore.
Will likely tighten up when it hits land.

The car is at the airport concrete garage and safe from surge...Now I am back on Sanibel to do final preparations and get the SUV to the same concrete parking garage...


Traffic was heavy off the island in the evacuation direction but moving at the speed limit...Sanibel is a ghost town with no cars on the streets and many buildings boarded up...Heavy rain but no wind yet...


Plans are clickin and going smooth...

Were you present in Charley? If I remember correctly, Sanibel Island became TWO islands! The water intrusion created a channel that ended up splitting the island into two separate land masses.

Crazy stuff!

New tornado warning, approaching Naples

Cell with hook falling apart. Miami looks to have dodged a bullet.

Watching it from a FL511 camera, it's at MM98 at Alligator Alley.

it was Captiva (basically the same)

No NE-SW pass? They've gone up in altitude as well it looks like and the AF plane seems to have turned around almost immediately after leaving.

That HWRF model run was a complete nightmare....The EWRC could delay it bombing out so that when it does, it's closer to Florida...

[Hurricane2022]

I'm expecting 98L (soon Hermine\Ian) to be the strongest storm of the season. It will have winds of 155 kt and pressure sub-915 mbar. it will also hit a region close to where Michael '18 made landfall.

No, they’re still at ~1000 gpm. I was thinking there might be a search-and-rescue like what happened in Lorenzo, but now they’re over land.

Recon sure is going swell tonight.

I'm in Indian River County. How could we not be under a Hurricane Watch or Warning? Is Ian really supposed to lose that much strength by the time it crosses? Because according to the models it seems to track pretty close to Indian River County on the east coast. Add in being on the "dirty" side of the storm as well.

It appears that the NOAA2 Recon plane landed in Miami, what happened?

[SconnieCane]

Looks (on radar, at least) like the remaining/northern piece of the old inner eyewall might "meld" with the outer eyewall.
