Landfall location of all 14 Category 4-5 #hurricanes to make landfall in Florida on record. Unfortunately, we're going to be adding another dot to this map shortly. #HurricaneIan

#HurricaneIan ranks in a tie for 4th with Charley (2004) and Florida Keys (1919) for the strongest #hurricanes by maximum sustained wind (150 mph) to make landfall in Florida on record. Table shows all 15 Category 4-5 hurricanes to make landfall in Florida on record.

#Ian and Charley may differ in size and impact, but this stat is uncanny: They both made landfall at the same spot with maximum winds identical.

My whole heart is broken, downtown Fort Myers Beach is completely under water. #fortmyersbeach #HurricaneIan #FortMyers

We were in the eye wall of Cat. 4 #Hurricane #Ian for over 5 hours and the back side was the worst. I haven't experienced anything close to this in over 30 years The Weather Channel

Aerial footage showing some of the destruction in Ft Myers… bridges are washed away and streets flooded. #HurricaneIan local10.com/weather/hurric…

Ft Myers Beach is effectively gone, almost no emergency crews yet. These poor people need so much help…

This is what a 15ft storm surge looks like.

Aerial imagery of Fort Myers Beach is now available and I'm out of words to describe the devastation. If you're still looking for updates on a home in the area, this imagery is a good place to start. Here, see what little remains of Gulfview Colony... 🔗 storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/ian/ind…

Mesmerizing, suspenseful satellite imagery of the life of #Ian From tropical wave to catastrophic to post-tropical #weather #meteorology

Severe river flooding with slow motion disaster from Ian along the Peace River in Arcadia today on boat with local delivering supplies to communities cutoff by the record-breaking flooding. The river crested above 27’. Please support Peace River Canoe Outpost for canoe tours

A look at the downtown area of Fort Myers Beach Florida. There used to be many more businesses here than there are now with some whole buildings just wiped away. Most notably to me is the debris that was washed onto the roof of the ice cream/pizza place. #HurricanIan #Florida

Here is the NHCs 'cone of concern' forecast from Sunday evening at 11 PM. You can see, coastal Lee County is very much in it. A storm surge watch went into effect for the entire SWFL coastline with this advisory. Evacuation for Lee County wasn't announced until Tuesday morning.

Time to add Ian to the map of recent close calls in southeast Florida.
