Hurricane Nicole is said to be on its way to the east coast of Florida.  We are under Watch since 10:12 this morning.

rapid intensification for real. hard to say how bad this will be, probably in between TS and Cat 1 (hopefully no worse). good luck everyone!

Wishing luck to our citrus growers.  I'm sure they'll be tired tonight.

Landfall around 1:00AM Port St Lucie/Fort Pierce.  Stay safe, friends.  God protect you.

Thankfully not bad in my area, rain and a little wind.  For folks close to the coast, there was the combination of king tide swell and surge resulting in some coastal flooding and significant beach erosion.

I hope folks in the Port St Lucie area through Vero Beach where heavier winds were forecasted fared OK too.

Hopefully, this is it for the year.

Residences all along the coast--homes and condo buildings--got hit badly.  Cities in Broward and Miami-Dade have seen a lot of street flooding lately, compounded by the storm.  I hope our governor, who just won reelection, will address these problems, but I'm sure he has set his sights on the White House now.

The state of Florida last year or the year before started Resiliency Florida Grant program (https://floridadep.gov/Resilient-Florida-Program/Grants) and put over $600 million seed money to fund cities and municipalities to take on Flood Resiliency Initiatives (including vulnerability assessment and implementation projects).

The 4 County areas, Monroe, Miami Dame, Broward and Palm beach are also part of what is called the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact (https://southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org/) and have plans (Regional Climate Action Plan - they recently published version 3) and programs to address effects of Climate Change in the region and have made significant investments as well.

Finally, following recent Hurricanes, the US Army Corps of Engineers initiated and are finishing a South Atlantic Coastal Study (SACS) and a series of Back Bay and Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) projects including a couple in Miami Dade County.

All I am saying is there is a lot or coordinated action and funding to address this issue and that is happening right now.  There is a whole lot going on and the State of Florida has stepped up in a major way in the last couple of years. I will be happy to point you to some more interesting resources if you are interested in learning some more.

Eye wall went over home in PSL. Was 76mph registered speed at multiple weather points within a mile of home for at least 30mins. No visible damage to home and just some trees with lost leaves.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
