At least three deaths were reported in Tropical Storm and Hurricane Nicole — a man and woman electrocuted by a downed power line and a man whose yacht was slammed by waves against a dock.
WILBUR-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. — The remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole sent heavy rains falling from Georgia to New York on Friday as flooding and surging ocean waters receded from a stretch of Florida coastline where the most damaging impacts became evident after it made landfall as a hurricane.
Wrecks added to Atlanta's notoriously bad traffic as rain from Nicole fell across the metro area during rush hour, and a few school systems in mountainous north Georgia canceled classes. That roughly 15-mile stretch was hit hard by coastline erosion that destroyed sea walls just six weeks earlier when Hurricane Ian came ashore on the Gulf Coast, killing more than 130 people and destroying thousands of homes.
“It is definitely part of a picture that is happening,” Oppenheimer said. “It’s going to happen all across the world.’’"We’ve never experienced anything like this before,” he said.
