Tropical Storm Nicole made landfall in the Bahamas late Wednesday morning with maximum winds up to 70 mph.

Nicole is expected to reach hurricane strength on Wednesday as she looks out over Florida’s already battered east coast.

A seawall in Daytona Beach collapsed into the ocean on Wednesday morning as the incoming tropical storm brought powerful waves to the shoreline.

Nicole is expected to weaken as it moves through Florida and the southeastern United States Thursday through Friday, and is likely to become a post-tropical cyclone by Friday evening over the central states of Atlantic.
