Yes, that's another system which developed quickly. It had only a 30% chance of developing into a storm yesterday but it's now a 70% chance.

Catastrophic flooding as both rainfall and tides combine to cause maximum effect.

Yes it looks like the Tampa area could be badly impacted by Ian in the coming days.
Anyone got a good TV new station to watch over in Florida?

I watched a bit on youtube this.morning, Fox news.
I think later some will have Live videos running.
Hurricane Ian has been upgraded and is now a Cat 5 Hurricane - didn't think that was possible!?
It's still a cat 4.
don't know what this place usually looks like but it's been getting worse for age:

Cape Coral is part of Fort Myers, just south of the predicted landfall
155 at the moment, I think that is 5?
Within a whisker - it needs to be 157 mph

The latest NHC discussion (11am EDT) says the most recent data puts Ian on the threshold of Cat 5, due to further rapid intensification.
Top end Cat 4 although I don't think you would notice much difference in the wind between 155mph & 157mph 😄
I think of perhaps as much concern is the latest forecast showing that Ian will not weaken as much as previously expected as it passes over Florida and out into the Atlantic. The latest forecast has it just a little below a Cat 1 (65mph) as it exits the east coast of Florida.
