The storm is steered by a deep-layer flow through the entire atmosphere and surface frictional effects will have little impact on a storm this intense. As it weakens after landfall, the lower-level winds will take over to a greater degree in steering the storm, but that's a different matter than frictional effects along the coastline.

The greater effects from friction will be the potential for tornadoes to the right of the storm track at landfall. The potential is there for a similar scenario tornado-wise as seen with Ivan, just likely a bit further west in the western Fl. Panhandle and Alabama.
