Did not Wilma take a west to east B-Line to South Florida?




Above: Wilma (2005)

Off the top of my head I'd venture to say a very similar angle, yes. Dissimilar genesis, less time to create a fetch of surge in the Gulf, less Florida real estate to blast with surge, possibly less surge-vulnerable coast, although possibly some similar baroclinic interaction and "cool side" feel/gusts once coming ashore.

It might be informative to know what others who rode out or tracked Wilma think of the similarities and dissimilarities. This is a highly unusual storm track forecast for Milton.
