Volusia County officials made several preparations before the storm made its way through the Gulf of Mexico including putting out a lot of these sandbags.

This week marks one year since Hurricane Nicole wreaked havoc on Volusia's coast. The storm caused homes to cave in, condos to be evacuated, and today, many properties are still being cleaned up.

Some homeowners in Volusia whose homes were destroyed along the coast hope a disaster declaration will help them rebuild faster.

Homeowners in Wilbur-By-The-Sea spoke directly to Volusia County officials Monday evening regarding storm repairs in the aftermath of Hurricane Nicole.

Tropical Storm Nicole is now a depression dumping heavy rain in places from Georgia to southern Canada.

Drone video provided by Bridgepoint Global shows the devastation wrought on the beachside community of Wilbur-By-The-Sea after Nicole battered Florida's east coast causing rapid erosion.
