Nicole made landfall in Florida early Thursday, but impacts have been felt well before its arrival.
Rain and wind have hammered the area. Storm surge has led to significant beach erosion, forcing mandatory evacuations at some buildings in Volusia County in danger of collapse.

Due to the sheer size of Nicole, with tropical storm force winds extending outward up to 460 miles to the north, most of Central Florida will experience gusty winds over 40 mph starting Wednesday and through Thursday.
Storm total rainfall from repeated rounds of heavy showers could produce accumulations of 4 to 6 inches across coastal counties, with isolated totals up to 8 inches, and 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches inland.
Throughout the storm, News 6 viewers have been providing images through the PinIt! program while our reporters have been share images and video on social media.
