The city of Ft. Myers, located in the southwest part of Florida, is currently experiencing the impact of a storm with increasing winds and steady rainfall. The Caloosahatchee River is being closely monitored for rising water levels as the storm progresses.
It is noted that two years ago, Hurricane Ian made a direct landfall in Lee County, resulting in a storm surge exceeding 10 feet. The current forecast for Ft. Myers anticipates a storm surge ranging from 8 to 12 feet, indicating the potential severity of the situation.
