The hurricane force winds will cover an area in excess of 160 miles, and the Florida peninsula is at most 175 miles wide, so it will cover a good part of the state, imo.

My recollection from Charlie is the storm surge will be a big factor for those south of where the eye hits, with less surge north of the eye.

[edit: but that storm was coming from the other direction, so it is probably different. The wind in a hurricane always blows counter-clockwise, so on the west coast the south side of the storm gets the surge, on the east coast the north side gets it.

This site says the "right front quadrant" is most at risk:

nhc.noaa.gov

Some of the non-NHC models are showing the storm not hitting Florida, and going up to SC, but I'm not buying into that, so far the NHC has called it pretty good.

So has the Navy.
