Tropical Storm Nicole made landfall in the Bahamas late Wednesday morning with maximum winds up to 70 mph.
Nicole is expected to rise to hurricane strength on Wednesday as it eyes Florida’s already battered east coast.
Wednesday morning, a seawall at Daytona Beach crumbled into the ocean as the incoming tropical storm brought powerful waves to the coastline.
Nicole is expected to weaken while moving across Florida and the southeastern United States Thursday through Friday, and it is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by Friday night over the Mid-Atlantic states.
