Hurricane Ian
NHC/NOAA ^ | 23 September 2022 | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/23/2022 2:32:24 AM PDT by NautiNurse

The late-blooming 2022 Atlantic Tropical Storm season is making up for lost time. A tropical system has developed in the Central Caribbean Sea. This storm system is forecast to threaten continental U.S. interests next week. While the tropical wave passed south of a key geographic area known as Hebert's Box #1, it will very likely pass through Hebert's Box #2. These boxes are useful as predictors of hurricanes that will strike South Florida. For more information about Hebert's Boxes, see Hebert Box. See graphic below which illustrated the Hebert's Boxes.

Two reasons:

1. Many homes are uninhabitable, requiring displacement of the residents for an extended period of time.

2. Florida Power & Light, one major utility of several power companies, has suffered severe damage to multiple substations. Much more extensive than downed power lines. There will be extended power outages in some locations, beyond battery backup capabilities.

Hi backatcha my friend!

I’m thinking it not going to be as severe in the Carolinas as it was in Florida

Hope I’m right.

When I was in Folly Beach, it was one if the times I was driving Jim and Shelia cause Chris wasn’t available.

Had a great time with J and S, driving around the country and eating at some great restaurants,

Her house was completely dry, but she & I were dodging fallen trees up away from the coast!

Evacuating is a crap shoot when trying to outsmart a hurricane track forecast. We've had pretty good success moving inland a short distance to avoid storm surge, accepting power outages will occur over a wider swath. By staying close to home, we can return quickly to assess structural damage, begin cleanup, and make longer term plans as necessary.

Ian is forecast to drive inland into SC/NC. Expect there will be news about inland damage. While coastal dwellers and vegetation are seasoned by storm experience and perpetual coastal breezes, inland vegetation (e.g. brittle trees) do not withstand gale force winds.

The inland destruction in Charlotte NC from Hurricane Hugo was primarily due to countless stately oak trees toppling onto homes.

Hi. Finally got internet service thru my 5G here in Cape Coral. Most of my neighbors rode it out as did we. No inside damage. Lots of outside damage though. Be we made it through thank God. Seeing pictures for the first time this morning. We had one of those battery powered emergency radios which was the best purchase we ever made. It was our only contact with the outside world. I will never forget the feeling og the house rattling and shaking and the frightening sound of the wind howling and whistling. It was non stop and relentless for six hours. We spent the last two nights listening to people calling in to radio with their horrible storm stories. Still no power or water. I heard they have to rebuild much of the power grid in Lee county. My neighbor’s pool cage flew off and ended up on their roof. Shingles and solar panels strewn all over the neighborhood. Palm leafs and downed trees up and down our street. Yesterday was clean up day. With the sounds of generators and chain saws. Even the radio has moved on. Back to music and sports this morning. Gave generator a break last night as it’s still impossible to get gas. My husband is a cancer patient. Hoping treatment center will be back soon so he can continue immunotherapy. I heard Lee Memorial Hospital has no water. That’s my story. Glad to be back on FR. Haven’t read through the stories yet but I hope everyone here made it out ok. We fared better than most.

Good to hear you made it through relatively intact. Lots of FReepers were asking about you.

Well that’s interesting.

Live Oaks, yes quite majestic.

I was admiring some last month by one of my doctors’ offices in No California.

I think generally they can live hundreds of years.

So wind was the most destructive during Hugo, huh?

Wind and rain were definitely the destructive forces inland in places like Charlotte during Hurricane Hugo, which was still a Cat 1 when it arrived into the Queen City. The rain softened the red clay and the winds took out the stately oak trees, many of which were planted in the early 20th century.

Category 4 storm surge caused much of the coastal damage.

Great to have you back, FL FRiend. A lot of folks have been concerned about your safety and situation.

Internet service has been out across a wide swath, for multiple service providers. Cell service pretty bad too. Some have text capability, but not calling, and vice versa. I drove two miles yesterday to pick up a few bars on the cell phone to make a call.

I hope your husband is able to maintain his treatment schedule and the gasoline tankers can refill the stations soon. Unfortunately, the pumps won't work without electricity. There were long lines in Sarasota/Manatee Co. for the few stations which had both electricity and gasoline. A tricky accomplishment to find a station with both.

Thanks. Yes, just read the latest trajectory and it’s heading straight for me! Battening down the hatches. Continued prayers for everyone and all in Florida.

Prayers to everyone still in trouble out there. We’re already back up after only twelve hours of power outage northwest of O-town. Power was out for a week during Irma. The crews are done with our area and have moved on. Hopefully that’s a good sign for everyone else.

Thanks for posting the aerial video. Time after time, metal roofs are the ones with relatively unscathed structures. In addition, a metal roof has a life span around three times that of shingles—even without a hurricane.

Amazing! I did not even know that a halo rainbow existed. These two Myrtle Beach pictures show both the beauty and the fury of nature. I hope and pray that Ian goes out into the Atlantic very soon.

Thank you for checking in. Good to hear your electricity is restored. Now is the time to exhale and get some rest. Hurricane season precedes Florida’s paradise season!
