Waves in Lake Monroe hit the Sanford riverwalk as strong winds and rain continue from Hurricane Ian on September 29, 2022, in Sanford, Florida. Some areas affected by Hurricane Ian will be especially vulnerable as Tropical Storm Nicole moves in.Boston University Department of Earth and Environment professor Duncan FitzGerald toldin an email that the storm's projection will generate onshore winds Wednesday and Thursday.

"Coastal damage resulting from Hurricane Ian in late September was much greater in southwest Florida than elsewhere but beaches still eroded in Central Florida ," FitzGerald said."These beaches have had a month to rebuild following Hurricane Ian erosion and [these] processes will not be complete. "Depending on the previous state of the beaches prior to Ian and the degree of erosion and shoreline recession, these beaches will be susceptible to further erosion. In some instances where the beach is already narrow, I would expect to see dune erosion and perhaps damage to structures where the sacrificial sand is completely gone."
