storm surge usually shows the maximum possible forecasted, generally doesn't actually hit all those levels (knock on wood)

nwin posted:Any idea how the impacts were to Rotonda West? We’ve got some elderly family out there who refused to evacuate and haven’t heard a peep. Just from the radar I think that area got pretty high sustained winds but it seems that new construction dealt with that pretty well so as long as the flooding wasn't bad it should still be there...

zedprime posted:Rotonda West is Charlotte County B zone which was marked for evac. I haven't heard a reliable report if the surge was the apocalypse they called for. But based on some of those Charlotte County web cams they probably got wet at least. The surge in Ft Myers looked real bad but other than that it seemed like if you were above sea level a bit more it wasn't totally devastating. I think inland the threat would be more from rainfall... My family vacationed down in Captiva when I was a kid so I hope that's not completely wrecked (again) Mozi fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Sep 29, 2022 |

nwin posted:Welp. The in-laws somehow survived in Rotonda West. Their roof is gone and the ceiling collapsed in 2/5 of the rooms but they are luckily alive. Yikes, glad to hear it. It seems that based on videos taken after the first eyewall but before the second, compared with the final aftermath, that the second eyewall hit was much worse. My parents have a house in that general area, roof survived based on initial reports. Big win was not a lot of storm surge - seems there was some relation between the time of being hit with the water all being sucked out of the bay that the surge was reduced at that particular point, otherwise the whole island would have been underwater. Lots of tree damage, roof damage. But compared with Ft Myers it's practically not worth mentioning.

Yeah, we seem to have figured out how to build them to withstand wind. Shame about all that water!

Here is a big map of imagery taken by NOAA after the hurricane, for anyone who might want to check on a specific area: https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/ian/index.html#17/26.74545/-82.26129. Covers Venice Beach down to Marco Island, including Port Charlotte, Ft Myers, Naples, etc.

quote:the center line is (not mathematically, but essentially) the average track of the models they use rather than a set-in-stone prediction. Yeah this is not true, the line only marks the progress of time. The location of the storm within the cone is entirely indeterminate and no location should be regarded as more probable than any other.

So the good news there is in another decade when it's a twice-a-year event people will be well practiced.
