That is exactly correct. Almost all of the models were taking the storm further up the coast to or past Tampa, which is ~150 miles north of Naples. Plus, no one expected the storm surge to be nearly as high as it was. I've been here almost 25 years and there hasn't been another storm with any kind of surge remotely like this one from Ian.
