Since 1954, 94 storm names have been retired. 185 mph in 1935 – Labor Day Day (unnamed).Now In Top 5 Landfalling Storms With Winds 155 mph or Higher Include: Powerful storm surge southern tip Pine Island FL eye wall Hurricane Ian /Osn1u5kpa4 This is the most destructive part of the storm. Storm chaser Reed Timmer was located on the other side where the winds FROM THE WEST pushed the water on land. This is unfortunately an indicator of the storm surge that is about to occur here very soon. The water is being pulled out of peace river before the arrival of #HurricaneIan in Punta Gorda, Florida. The counterclockwise flow in that location pulled the water AWAY from the shoreline.
Punta Gorda was on the North Side of the Eye Wall. This is where the strong winds were blowing FROM THE EAST as Ian was pulling water away from the coast. I’ve highlighted Punta Gorda on the north side of the Eye Wall. Winds were 150 mph and pressure was 940 mb. Since Captiva is a barrier island, NHC is going with the mainland landfall as Cayo Costa FL at 3:05 PM. Tropical Storm force winds extend 175 miles from the center.Hurricane Force Winds reach 45 miles from the center.Located 25 miles form Fort Myers, 50 miles from Punta Gorda.Winds are 155 mph (sustained at the surface).The Earth Networks Station at the Naples Grande Beach Resort recently reported a wind gust of 112 mph (180 km/h.) The destruction will be unmatched in modern US history! Doppler Radar Loop At LandfallĪ River, Estuary, and Coastal Network station at Redfish Pass, Florida, recently reported sustained winds of 94 mph and a wind gust of 126 mph, while a Weatherflow station near Sanibel Island, Florida, recently reported sustained winds of 83 mph and a wind gust of 107 mph. Then add in winds equal to an EF-3 tornado over a large area for an hour or two duration, and isolated tornadoes in addition. Heavy rain may still drop up to 18 inches. Also, some amazing videos addressing the rare occurrence of water being pulled out away from the coast on the north side, contrasting with the feared Storm Surge.įlooding from storm surge is the most destructive and deadly with landfall, and the forecast has up to 18 Feet near Fort Myers. In this post, I’m showing the Doppler Radar and Satellite loops at landfall. The eye of Hurricane Ian made landfall shortly after 1 PM on Captiva Island, Florida.
