Hurricane Ian as seen through the Tweet stream

Spread the knowledge with a share:

Hurricane Ian followed the expected path, albeit a little bit further south than anticipated and raced ashore as a Category 4 Hurricane. Not only was Ian a CAT 4 hurricane, the size of the storm was enormous. Yesterday we compiled a list of resources for those evacuating, today we see the arrival of Ian, now downgraded to a tropical storm, as seen by those who weathered the storm.

Hurricane Ian caused flooding

The storm surge caused widespread flooding and as it rushed in, roads filled.

I've been capturing video from this webcam in Fort Myers all day and I've put it into a Timelapse. Check out the storm surge rushing in! Crazy. #Ian #flwx pic.twitter.com/lj7a1wThga

*RARE* first person view of storm surge. This camera is 6 feet off the ground on Estero Blvd in Fort Myers Beach, FL. Not sure how much longer it keeps working. You’ll see it live only on ⁦@weatherchannel⁩ #Ian pic.twitter.com/WwHtvgVxjY

Probably the worst footage yet of #HurricaneIan in Fort Myers. Buildings underwater. pic.twitter.com/m0HyiLs2ZE

Vehicles floated, and houses sailed away.

We all know that it only takes 18 inches of water to float a car. Think what 8-18 feet of water will do?

Where did the water go?

Tampa Bay found itself sucked dry by the force of Ian’s winds.

Hurricane Ian took all the water out of Tampa Bay because climate change is a hoax and these storms are absolutely not getting stronger, more frequent, and more devastating each year. pic.twitter.com/2uP12gAzin

SHARKANDO

And Ian has caused everyone to revisit the thought of Sharkando

Alright… The shark swimming on land is no longer a meme now because it actually just happened. #flwx #Ian pic.twitter.com/ifQUrkdVfi
