Nicole was moving northwest over central Florida as it packed 60 miles per hour wind gusts early Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory. It was expected to continue to weaken as it churns north over the next two days through Georgia and into the Carolinas. State officials opened 15 emergency shelters across the region, activated 600 National Guard troops and placed 1,600 utility workers on standby to restore power knocked out by the storm.
Upon Nicole’s arrival the state was still reeling from Hurricane Ian, a catastrophic Category 4 storm that made landfall on Sept. 28 along the state’s Gulf Coast. Ian caused an estimated $60 billion in damage and killing more than 140 people. “This is the last window of opportunity to secure your families and to secure your properties and possibly save some lives,” Chitwood said in a video posted online on Wednesday.
