This is mind boggling if it verifies. It would mean the majority (if not all) of Sanibel and Captiva Islands could be "completely submerged" by storm surge. This would be catastrophic... #HurricaneIan #Florida #Tropics

I'm not sure how many truly grasp what just happened tonight with Hurricane #Ian. It went through a full eyewall replacement cycle, hardly blinked, grew by 50% (as measured by its RMW), and delivered the 3rd highest storm surge since 1913 to Key West in the process. Just wow.

BREAKING | Hurricane #Ian brings catastrophic storm surge to Naples, Florida with water moving into houses. Social media channels show residents SWIMMING in the surge in their houses. DO NOT DO THIS. You don't know what may be in this water, including chemicals!

😳OMG. Look the storm surge has begun to rush in through bottom floor of this Naples, FL condo. There’s reports that people are in water up to their chins inside of their homes. They’re asking for helicopter evacs ASAP! x.com/llizzarrdd/sta…

Newsrooms should never signal — to their staff nor the public — that news stories like Hurricane Ian are worth putting journalists’ lives in danger. There are ways to capture these images and convey the danger of storm surge and wind without this. Stay safe out there, y’all.

Storm surge got into our WINK studios in Fort Myers, flooded the entire first floor. Lost power and was unable to continue broadcasting on tv/radio. No timetable on return to air. #Ian was the strongest hurricane in Southwest Florida history. Widespread destruction heading home.

Absolutely heartbreaking footage captured by our surge probe of catastrophic storm surge washing away homes. I have never seen anything like this. We have now left the area as hoards of emergency crew have arrived. #HurricaneIan FULL VIDEO - youtube.com/watch?v=al8yTi…

Storm surge went into second floor houses on San Carlos Island. Just left there and interviewed the man who took this video. He punched out a wall to get out of his house — and then used a jet ski to check on neighbors. Several did not survive, he says. #HurricaneIan

Fort Myers Beach is gone. Hurricane #Ian’s storm surge caused catastrophic damage. Getting flashbacks to Katrina along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 😢💔 #flwx

.World Central Kitchen teams are across Florida today serving thousands of meals to people needing our support after #HurricaneIan. This is the bridge going to Pine Island.. and why we have an amphibious vehicle to be able to reach wherever needed with food, water! #ChefsForFlorida
