Riding out Cat. 4 Hurricane Ian September 2022-Port Charlotte, FL Charlotte County

[@sbatncpl]

You had a few shots of your beautiful dog in this video. How did he/she do during the storm? Pray all is well with you and your pooch!

[@experiencesbyjesse3688]

He was the most calm ever. Handled it well. Also post Hurricane

[@dahliablack9017]

I was one of the first people to lose power me and about 50 others for the simple fact that our power line has been having issues since before the hurricane so we actually ended up losing power at 12:15 a.m. Wednesday morning we didn't get it back for 9 days. I'm glad u guys ended up being okay! I am in north port and it was none stop for 9 hours.

[@swhite8381]

We lost power early in the evening . I can’t remember exactly what time but it was still light out 😣

Omg. That was pretty full on. I'm from Australia 🇦🇺 and don't get hurricanes. I'm glad you are okay and your house, and tarp, survived. Thank you for your great video.

You guys get hurricane, but call them cyclones down there. Same phenomenon, different regional name.

[@danielelise7348]

​@@zachcurry8392 hey mate,yes we do get them & call them cyclones,but they are not everywhere,mainly in NT & WA but they are rarely of this magnitude,the most notable was Cyclone Tracy in 1974.

I'm in Tampa and my anxiety was through the roof since I live in an apartment built out of wood, no cement. 80's construction. I'm sorry you guys got the brunt of it. South Tampa was in the surge zone until the last minute

[@experiencesbyjesse3688]

I bet man. I had to drop off my mom at TPA to fly up north to family about a week after the hurricane. The entire time I was in Tampa I told myself I’m glad it didn’t make landfall in your area because it would have been Devastating especially the 275 area

[@mrsbblanks]

@@experiencesbyjesse3688 I think if any hurricane does hit Tampa at cat 3 or higher it will be absolutely devastating. Hurricane Ian took all the water out of the bay and the rivers here. I live off the Alafia. There was no water in the river at all.

[@experiencesbyjesse3688]

@@mrsbblanks I agree

[@alexwhite3158]

@@mrsbblanks Ah I’m near the Alafia here in Riverview to!! Yeah Ian especially from like 5pm-1am deff had some strong gusts, similar to how irma was where it would be just windy, rainy and then you get a strong gust coming through about every couple mins or so except some of the gusts later on we’re stronger! I remember sitting outside and looking at a tall pine tree we have and I was just waiting for it to come crashing through the lanai but thank god it didn’t !!

[@mrsbblanks]

@@alexwhite3158 that river was completely empty. Creepy feeling to see that. He sucked all that up and then dropped it hard into the rivers flooding everything. That storm would have took out everything on the alafia if it had hit on Clearwater beach like it was supposed to :(

[@anniefannycharles9951]

I'm down here in NE Cape Coral in a little wooden house! Didn't it seem like it went on forever?! I lost power 8 days. Used acouple of oil lamps, flash light and candles. And also my phone light. My two dogs weren't bothered by it either. Even with the howling winds. I'm glad you and your dog were okay.

[@niccidee782]

Jesse, we live in North Fort Myers. I take care of 3 feral cats, that have adapted to life on my property (fenced and they never leave) I caught one and took with us. Other two stayed -- only because they ran. Ian killed a bunch of trees, but thankfully house OK. Two cats left behind? Just fine. Thankful for that. Hope you are all right too. :) edit: Sorry I called you "Annie." My new glasses are coming in this week, didn't notice I screwed that up until you liked the comment and I had to re-read. lol! ;)

[@tvold9204]

As a southwest floridian myself an a meteorology enthusiast for most of my life I found Ian interesting. What you thought were near cat 5 winds there were really not any more than cat 3. The peak winds were confined to a tiny sliver of the western eyewall. Sanibel got near that, probably cat 4 conditions there and you should've seen what happened. It was crazy, highrises completely gutted with floors ripped off from the winds. Some hurricanes have their peak winds over a good portion of the eyewall (like Hurricane Charley in 2004) while others have it over a tiny part of it (like Ian). I've always found that interesting!

[@tomrizzo1554]

Some of the police substations in Englewood had gust up to 205 mph one of my customers had an intricate weather station that blew away last reading was 200 mph

[@tvold9204]

@@tomrizzo1554 none of these were accurate. There's a reason why they weren't in ian's TCR.

[@angieerickson2305]

I live not too far from you in North Port it was a horrible storm so glad everyone made it ok. Did a lot of damage but we are alive.

[@nlg7922]

At any point during this were you ever at all thinking why did I stay here for this?! It was just you and your dog also?! My husband does roofing where we are in MI, and we were discussing whoever put that white tarp on the house across the road is a total bad ass! Lol. Seriously, though, glad you guys made it, and are safe. I am pretty sure I would have had a panic attack leading to stroking out. I get scared with certain storms up here at times still, at 43 yrs old! 🤦 Which are just a mild wind and mist in comparison! Thanks for the video!

[@pzozzie]

Ive been through 7 direct hurricane hits in Florida one of them being a category 5. I always stay because my area doesnt get storm surge flooding from the coast. I have a hobby farm and I wont leave my animals alone and my dogs dont travel well. We hunker down. Sometimes it takes a long time before they let you back into the area if you left. I rather be here to immediately deal with whatever happened during the storm and prevent things like looters.

[@bonsaibnuuy]

so i live here, not watched yet but i was out of state for this thing and i'm curious how it looked while it was going down so thanks in advance :]

[@judithryle2113]

[@tty3146]

How far were you from the direct path of Ian? Thanks.

[@experiencesbyjesse3688]

Like 20-30 miles

[@danieldesimonedanny1827]

I'm in between peachland and midway and Ian was a biggie. Shingle damage but no leaks and minor soffit damage. I'm impressed how my wood frame house held up.

[@sunnydaze2359]

Same here. I was shocked my house held up so well since it’s over 40 years old, but a contractor that looked at my house told me it was so well-made that it would out last all the other houses in the neighborhood.

[@tvold9204]

Building codes serving us well here in SWFL! looks like PC missed the cat 4 sustained winds though, those were quite localized in Ian. Those mostly hit the barrier islands, Sanibel namely, and maybe western portions of the Cape Haze peninsula. Highrise hotels ripped apart from winds, was insane!

[@tomrizzo1554]

That was a CAT5 hurricane I'm sure it will be upgraded we had sustained winds of 150 to 160 mph in Rotonda with gusts in the 190s

[@tvold9204]

Rotonda might've had some of the strongest winds on the mainland. Your area had proper strucutral damage didn't it? I know nearby Englewood had many buildings and homes destroyed from the winds alone. But Ian's 150 sustained definitely didn't come ashore to the mainland, video from in eyewall, chaser accounts and especially damage was actually not that impressive for a 150mph 'cane. Charley makes Ian his bitch. Look at Punta Gorda after both, Charley was tiny but made up for it in extreme intensity.

I cried so hard when I saw the overall devastation dealt to my stomping grounds for 46 yrs.
