Martin County is now in on the action that Broward and Palm Beach counties have been experiencing: downpours, thunder, lightning, tornado warning. I think when it’s all said and done we will exceed the pre-storm rainfall estimates.

Rainy and breezy in NW Broward this AM. Winds ESE 15 gusting to 25. Over night several tornadoes were confirmed. Rainfall total is 3.6". As Ian is 145 miles due west of my location I assume unless we get a particularly nasty feeder band this about all I see from this storm thankfully. The few rain bands I see on radar are drying up before they reach me.

So far, in New Smyrna Beach, only some rain and very little wind.
My biggest fear is the flooding. We had a very wet summer, lots of water everywhere, and now even more water...
If the got it right, wind-wise we should not have hurricane force winds (even though we just got a hurricane warning)

Nice down pour with one thunder clap just ending here in Indian Harbor Beach Brevard County. The first couple of storms that rolled through early this morning cleaned all the dead debris in the palm trees out. Palm fronds everywhere you look laying around God have mercy on the southwest coast of our great state

I think this storms claim to fame will be surge. The water is still coming into Ft Myers where US41 crosses the river, its currently 6 feet above predicted high tide. The pressure at this location is coming up from a low of 961 when they were experiencing winds at 50 mph gusting to 80 mph.
The strongest winds were isolated to the eyewall with confirming (so far) stations reporting 130 MPH gusts. Outside of the core I've only seen Cat 1 gusts reported. However with various weather stations going off line during the worse of it we don't know everything yet.

I would add an expansive wind field well NE of the center due to a steep pressure gradient between Ian and boundary extending across north/central peninsular Florida well out into the Atlantic:

Currently here on the east Volusia coast in DBS increasing nor'easter conditions, sustained NE wind in the low 30's, gusting to 45 mph well ahead of Ian:

Power has been out since 6:25. The wind is very loud and beginning to howl. I don't have a wind gauge so I can't measure it. But I would say we're probably in the '60s. Heavy and continuous rain.

Agreed. The wind in my area has actually picked up. Technically this makes sense as Ian is closer but it’s so much weaker. Just shows how compact it was at landfall. Since then the wind field has expanded dramatically.
Planning a trip over to check the rental home in St James City on Saturday… hope it’s still there as it took a direct hit.

Well that ain't happening as the roads are damaged and some bridges have been wiped out. The only way to reach the barrier islands is by boat. The causeway to Sanibel washed out:

Winds have really picked up here In Indian Harbor Beach Brevard County I'd estimate 40-50 mph out of the NW. Possible higher gusts Started about a hour and a half ago. There's some rain but the winds are coming and going. The storm is NE of here off shore Volusia Brevard county line.The SW quadrant of Ian is still affecting the coast here some what.
