Yeah. 25 miles is well within the margin of track forecast error 24 hours from landfall, but makes a huge difference in impact for a specific area - especially for surge.

Help is on the way

40k+ linemen are waiting by in Florida right now ready to go to work when they can.

That's a ton of overnight truck fapping.

From those pics Ian may have time to build back up to CAT 1 but it is speeding up so hopefully if it hits Charleston it will be with tropical storm winds and finally fizzles out in the mountains of Tennessee.

I wouldn’t root for that. That could be devastating to Charleston. Why not just hope it heads out to see or lands in a much less populated area of the coast?

That's insane current. I was a little over a year in my ems career, started in New Orleans, when Katrina hit. I don't even remember seeing current like that but maybe I've simply forgotten. Lots of standing water for sure.


Yeah, there are some videos where you can honestly see white caps as the water moved through Bonita Springs. And in that video, that's surge coming in, not going out yet, which would have likely been worse.

Definitely the wrong choice of words I was just looking at the last track and where it was heading. My main intention was to hope it doesn't increase significantly in intensity wherever Ian goes.

I just found out the surge did not come up our street. Sadly for most of our friends that is not true. Massive damage to total destruction for their homes but they are all safe.

I may try to get to our house this weekend as we left with small suitcases and could use some more clothing.

I understood what you were saying, just hoping it doesn’t strengthen.

Charleston doesn’t need a 1 right now.

No one does really though.

A cat 1 storm would not be "devastating" to Charleston. It would certainly be a bit messy, sure, but come on!

Glad to hear your house made it through safely. Sorry to hear about your friends.

WHo on here are we still waiting to hear from other than Liz?

Take some pics, man! Glad to hear that your home made it out ok. Make sure to check for roof water leaks if it's safe. You don't want mold starting to grow, so if you can, it's best to try and deal with that before it becomes a major issue.

Well that is good news. Hope the wind damage is minimal too.

That actually doesn't sound like a terrible idea. Sounds like something Kramerica would come up with.

Downtown Charleston floods with light rain sometimes, some streets with no rain and just high tide. I was already leaving town tomorrow for a concert in Charlotte, so I’ll personally be out of danger, but hopefully it won’t be too bad.
