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.
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
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...

#HurricaneIan made for a rough ride during a @NOAA WP-3D #Kermit#HurricaneHunter flight into the storm this morning. Head to noaa.gov/Ian for the latest storm forecasts, maps, and information. Video: Nick Underwood/NOAA
This is from the Estancia high rise in Bonita Bay. This pool is on the SECOND FLOOR of the building. The water off Estero Bay is an entire story up over the 10th hole of the Bay Island golf course.
Horrifying.

My friends parents are in Bonita Springs, Florida and sent me this picture. The pool is on the second floor of their condo complex and the water behind that is the golf course. Absolutely devastating. #Florida#hurricaneian#Ian 🌀🌀
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 @weatherchannel
#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.
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
Video from Facebook Live of a flooded Naples Fire Station. Thinking of all the first responders working through #HurricaneIan to keep their communities safe. @CBSMiami
