There were 14 hurricanes in 2020, the busiest season since 2005. Here’s how they form and why climate change is making them more intense.Hurricane Nicole made landfall early Thursday on North Hutchinson Island, just south of Vero Beach, Florida, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, the National Hurricane Center said, a rare November hurricane for storm-weary Florida.
The hurricane center warned that Nicole would bring heavy downpours, strong winds, and a dangerous storm surge Wednesday night. Nicole is also expected to cause flash and urban flooding. In Florida, the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet that storm surge from Nicole had already breached the sea wall along Indian River Drive, which runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean. The Martin County Sheriff’s office also said seawater had breached part of a road on Hutchinson Island.
Forecasters predicted tornadoes Wednesday night through Thursday across eastern Florida, southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina. Heavy rainfall is the main concern and Nicole could trigger dangerous storm surge of up to 5 feet in areas along the Florida and Georgia coasts.
