I'm pretty sure it's the goal of the weather Channel to have one of their reporters die on air.




Meh, they don't really put anyone in harm's way anymore, but they'll certainly fake like it's awful.

These independent guys are another story.

Red indicates a surge that is 9 feet above the ground, not 9 feet above sea level.


Perhaps you can provide a little clarification for me. I also read the "above ground" phrasing on the NHC Inundation Map page. Why do they use this nomenclature? I'm guessing they word it that way for people who don't know the elevation of their homes.

A friend's home in Cape Coral is in the "greater than 9' " area on the map. His slab is right at 10' elevation. If I heard there was going to be a 9' - 12' storm surge, I'd think he'd have a chance of getting a foot or two of water in his house. But if the NHC's wording is accurate, he might have 10' of water in his house.

Thats not from Irma. We have a nor'easter on us right now. It has been raining and blowing 25mph in Jacksonville since yesterday. People here keep thinking it is the outer bands, but it isnt.


Either way, it feels nice out right now. I'll enjoy it before the bad weather makes its way up here.

No idea, but I am 100% certain he is not riding out this storm at his current position. There is like ZERO cover.

Surely there is a car warsh somewhere on that island

Right now you have literally all the water draining out of any source near this system.

That water is going to come back that will make Katrina look like a joke.

A lot of homes will be under water or their first floors under water.

Surge is the #1 killer of people in Hurricane events.

I used to live in Naples and I can tell you that if 10 ft or more of surge is pushed into Naples Bay, Old Naples will be inundated. And if the surge is that high, that area will also take on water from the beach side. And further north, if the Imperial and Cocohatchee Rivers get 10 ft of surge it will flood a lot of North Naples and Bonita Springs.

I think the reason for the evac was the surge coming in with high tide.

Edit: Jeff is on Collier Boulevard if you are following him on Google Maps. Heading northbound.
