    It could be even worse, the west coast of Florida is far less prepared for a direct hit by a hurricane coming from the west than the east coast of Florida is when it comes to storms coming from the east.

    This storm seems like it started moving really slow almost stationary.

    I don't think west Florida is prep for this.

    The rear of the eye wall is finally coming onshore - this storm is endless.

    I saw several reports that the camera in Fort Meyers was actually 10-12 feet off the ground. That's insane

    That Fort Meyers Beach camera is looking at this google streetview. https://goo.gl/maps/tPJhR6W8Yoq6mScw9

    You can see the US flag on top of the building at around 14 second mark of the twitter video.

    The storm surge is probably at least 8-10 ft.

    The width of the storm is ridiculous, and its slow traveling speed. Prayers for people hopefully already or currently evacuating Florida.

    Good thing he was standing out there or else we wouldn't have known it was windy.
