HURRICANE IAN STORM SURGE 🌀 Peaked at 15 feet along Fort Myers Beach, highest ever recorded in Southwest Florida since at least 1850. Surge also went 25 miles up the Caloosahatchee, flooding many homes in Olga. Only other local comparisons for surge would be a powerful hurricane in 1873 bringing an estimated 13 feet and Hurricane Donna (1960) bringing 11 - 12 feet in Collier County. @WINKNews #Ian















HURRICANE #IAN: Category 5 upgrade briefly for 6 hours (160 mph), before landfall as a 150 mph Category 4 according to the official report released today. There wasn't enough reliable and accurate info for the NHC, despite claims, that supported Cat 5 at landfall. The catastrophic damage has already been done, which is more important than the final category at landfall and overall small difference. @WINKNews
