5am update: Nicole makes landfall south of Vero Beach. Downgraded to tropical storm. Bands of wind-driven rain passing through again and again.
Florida snow? Nope. It is Sea Foam from angry seas and wind from Hurricane Nicole.
Daytona Beach was seen getting battered by Hurricane Nicole. Authorities in Daytona Beach issued mandatory evacuation orders for the area.
People are out at Jaycee Park taking photos and videos of the damages from Hurricane Nicole.

Nicole was a nothing with nothing storm (where I live) and the kids really should have been in school these past 2 days.
Ian was a nothing with nothing storm (where I live) and the kids were off for 2 days as well

Sometime before hurricane season starts, the national weather service (i believe) chooses names for the next hurricane season.
They alternate letters between boy and girl
A-boy
B-girl
C-boy
D-girl
or
A-girl
B-boy
C- girl
D-boy
If a storm is damaging, they will retire the name and that name will never be used again (Andrew, Katrina, Sandy, Ian, Jeanne, etc)
If its an active season and goes past the letter Z, then we use alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc (the greek alphabet)
I could be wrong on this but i dont think storms are named until they become tropical storms which are 35 MPH or greater winds
I am not 100% on what i have said above but its the cliff notes
Be safe
More drone footage shows the extent and power of the coastal erosion in Florida - this concrete pool was snapped in half when the sand below it washed away.
A pair of dolphins out swimming in Tampa Bay tonight as the remnants of Nicole pass by.
