Tropical Storm Nicole made landfall as a hurricane early Thursday near Vero Beach, Florida
Tropical storm force winds extended as far as 450 miles from the center in some directions as Nicole turned northward over central Florida Thursday morning. It could briefly emerge over the northeastern corner of the Gulf of Mexico Thursday afternoon before moving over the Florida Panhandle and Georgia, forecasters said.
Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane around Vero Beach at about 3 a.m. Thursday before its maximum sustained winds dropped to 60 mph , the Miami-based center said. The storm was centered about 30 miles southeast of Orlando. It was moving west-northwest near 14 mph .Daytona Beach Shores deemed unsafe at least a half dozen, multi-story, coastal residential buildings
Large swells generated by Nicole will affect the northwestern Bahamas, the east coast of Florida, and much of the southeastern United States coast over the next few days. The storm was expected to weaken into a tropical depression over Georgia on Thursday night or early Friday. There is no penalty for ignoring an evacuation order, but rescue crews will not respond if it puts their members at risk.
