Naples on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast was devastated by Hurricane Ian in September 2022 as the Category 4 storm tracked directly toward the Naples area before making final landfall slightly north at Fort Myers Beach. Storm surge of 10-15 feet inundated coastal Naples neighborhoods. The city's affluent demographics and part-time resident population create complex evacuation compliance challenges during hurricane approaches requiring extended warning lead times.
