2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season

North Port officials say residents who want to temporarily discontinue services could face a $27,000 reconnection fee.

What was once a sprawling shoreline of sand on New Smyrna Beach is now a watery wasteland with tons of leftover debris courtesy of Hurricane Nicole’s storm surge Thursday morning.

Chases on the Beach, a staple restaurant of New Smyrna Beach, was one of the many businesses to suffer huge damages as Hurricane Nicole made landfall.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry warned people to stay out of the ocean and off the roadways.

The storm could dump as much as 6 inches of rain over the Blue Ridge Mountains, forecasters say. Flooding is possible as the rain spreads into the eastern Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and New England.

Nicole has brought significant road closures and closed bridges to barrier islands from New Smyrna Beach up through Jacksonville.

Nicole made landfall around 3 a.m. near Vero Beach as a Category 1 hurricane with estimated maximum sustained winds of 75 mph. Here's what we can expect today.

Nicole was downgraded to a tropical storm Thursday morning, shortly after making landfall in Florida, officials at the National Hurricane Center said.

The storm strengthened into a hurricane on Wednesday after pounding the Bahamas, as U.S. officials ordered evacuations that included former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.

Sustained winds of 30 mph are expected throughout the Tampa Bay area and Sarasota Thursday. We could see wind gusts of from 50 to 55 mph.

Counties in Florida have started calling evacuation orders and opening shelters as Nicole approaches.

Along with increasing winds through this evening, dangerous storm surge up to 5 feet is possible into the overnight hours.
