"It's certainly one of those metropolitan areas where we have one of the greatest concerns, particularly with storm surge, particularly with inexperience," Feltgen said. That allows winds from the north to essentially pull the hurricane north toward Florida, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director at the private service Weather Underground. Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach worries about storm surge on the west coast, calling it "surge central." Klotzbach looked at hurricane center storm surge maps splashed with bright yellows and reds and said Naples made him especially nervous. High wind, tornadoes and heavy rainfall of up to 20 inches (0.5 meters) are forecast for most of Florida.
