A good link to monitor weather condition throughout the state is the

Thank you for the thread. I live in Land O Lakes, FL which is about 30 minutes North of Tampa and about 30-45 minutes from the Gulf. I’m sure it’s about to get nasty here.

Not my area but a PWS in George Town on Grand Cayman https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/I90580545 is showing 40 MPH gusts with Ian 90 miles due west. So for now the storm is pretty compact.

In a passing thundershower at my home today, got a wind gust to 20.6 mph at 6:02 PM. That was mostly due to the high level outflow of Ian causing a lifting situation. Tops were blowing off to the NE while motion of the thundershowers was to the SW. Actual outer bands should begin affecting my home’s location tomorrow evening. I’m currently on vacation in northern NY, returning home on October 6. Link to my weather station is below.

I'm in Cape Coral, what we are getting right now is light winds and very light sprinkle. I'm not evacuating as this house has never had a flood claim going back to 1978.

Wow!! That's more than I recorded in August and September (to date).
It's been nearly 2 weeks since my location has had a good soaker (1" or more), and I'm currently running a wet season deficit of 6", so hoping for a soaking rain (if it comes over several days!).
Sandbags are ready to block floodwaters from coming into front yard off roadway and house. The nearby intersection regularly floods during heavy thunderstorms given the County's poorly designed storm drain system and lack of stormwater retention at upstream business parking lots (that are over 5' higher than my ground floor's 11' elevation) to the east on South Atlantic Avenue (A1A).

11AM update shifted the cone slightly SE, its covers as far south as Bonita Springs now. Ian has been tracking on the eastern edge of the cone but the still has movement as N (5 degrees). They have upped the forward motion, putting landfall 6-12 hours sooner.
Steady to brief heavy rain for me, since midnight we've gotten an 1.5" more. No wind to speak off but during breaks in the rain you can see the clouds moving quickly SE to NW. Broward is now under a TS watch and schools have been canceled for tomorrow.

Just measured 0.84" from heavy,,then moderate isolated shower (no lightning or wind) that started 11am and ended noon... This is the greatest 24-hr rainfall total since a little over an inch fell a month ago on August 27th... Just what was needed.to soften up the dry ground for my CoCaHaRs station: FL-VL-42 in anticipation of much more.

Hi, I got out of dodge. That eastern movement along with the increase in surge was enough to tip the decision. Now in homestead.

Smart move I think.
Right now Broward is getting slammed with strong rain, thunder and multiple tornado warned cells. Possible small, fast tornado might have moved thru the Cooper City area. Another one might have been out west between Parkland and US27 based on radar signature. My phone is blowing up with warnings, I don't think I have ever had this many before: tornado, severe weather, TS, flood watch.
Up to 2.4" of rain today so far.
