Collier County on Florida's southwest coast was struck directly by Hurricane Irma in 2017, which made landfall at Cudjoe Key and tracked north through the county. The Naples area experienced significant storm surge and wind damage. The county's extensive Everglades border limits eastern evacuation options, constraining residents to northbound routes.
