Hurricane Ian from an Engineer's Perspective

https://youtu.be/gml_BZiZHi0 - video from Josh of Building Integrity -
he is the guy that did lots of videos on the Metro Dade highrise
collapse

30 minute video - first 10 minutes explain how a hurricane forms and
the relative size of Ian - it was huge - it covered a huge area - -
the eye was 34 miles in diameter - last 20 minutes shows the storm
conditions at his home near Fort Myers - I think he was about 40 or 50
miles from landfall - must have been less - not sure - he seemed to be
about 10 miles east of fort myers beach and sanibel as I eyeball his
map

2200 rain blowing like crazy

2200 garage door flexing

2500 holding window in place

he was very very lucky
