USPA Nationwide Security has reallocated 50 Emergency Security Guards to provide Fire Watch and Disaster Relief to residents and businesses as Tropical Storm Nicole grows into a category 1 hurricane.
The tropical storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it moves towards Florida’s southeast coast. Tropical depressions in the Atlantic Ocean were upgraded to tropical storms on Tuesday morning. A maximum sustained wind speed of 65 mph was recorded approximately 395 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida. The hurricane will continue to strengthen as it moves toward Florida and will become a Category 1 storm.
Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas has already been hit by the storm. The storm is expected to intensify into a hurricane by Wednesday afternoon. Florida and the southeastern United States are expected to experience heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding due to this storm. This event is likely to result in at least one tornado.
It is expected that Nicole will move across northern Florida and into southern Georgia as it approaches Florida on Wednesday night. In the meantime, the National Hurricane Center has issued hurricane warnings for parts of Florida and coastal Georgia. Due to wind-driven water levels, storm surge is expected to reach two to four feet in South Florida. Furthermore, storm surges can cause large destructive waves.
Tropical Storm Nicole is expected to affect Florida and the east coast with heavy rains, high winds, and dangerous storm surges. Grand Bahama Island and the Abaco Islands are under a hurricane warning. There is also a tropical storm warning in effect for Bimini. In preparation for Hurricane Nicole, the Bahamas government has opened two dozen shelters, and government offices and schools have been closed on Abaco. Seaports and airports will be closed as Nicole approaches.
