Een maand na orkaan IAN is er nu Nicole die over de staat Florida trekt. IAN trok vanuit de Golf van Mexico over Florida heen, maar Nicole komt vanaf de Atlantische oceaan en zal ergens ten noorden van Miami aan land komen.
Momenteel ligt de kern van deze orkaan nog oost van de noordelijke eilanden van de Bahama's en neemt nog in kracht toe.
Voor de Bahama's is een waarschuwing uitgegeven voor een orkaan en ook voor een groot deel van Florida geldt een orkaanwaarschuwing.
quote:Just over a month after Hurricane Ian’s devastation in Florida, the state is again bracing for landfall from a hurricane — this time for an unusual November strike that prompted a hurricane warning along the central part of Florida’s east coast Tuesday. Tropical Storm Nicole continued to strengthen as it swirled across the western Atlantic from Tuesday to Wednesday, and AccuWeather meteorologists said the massive storm will make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane along Florida’s east coast early Thursday morning.
AccuWeather forecasters have rated Nicole a 1 on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Hurricanes due to the dangers of a damaging storm surge, high winds and flooding rainfall. Impacts will also occur for a long duration since hazardous conditions will hammer parts of the state for as much as 48 hours.
Landfall is expected to occur in the Stuart, Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce area of Florida during the middle of Wednesday night.
Mandatory evacuation orders were slated to go into effect on Wednesday in parts of Palm Beach and Volusia counties in Florida, according to officials.
