SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Tropical Storm Nicole made landfall overnight at North Hutchinson
Island on the east-central Florida coast, and continues to weaken 
while also moving northwestward away from our area. 

The following are the primary lingering hazards of concern with
Nicole:

* Coastal Flooding/Surge - Water levels will be decreasing over the
east coast from those observed on Wednesday as the wind direction
shifts offshore. However, some residual minor to locally moderate
tidal flooding will be possible around this morning's and evening's 
high tide with inundation values well under 3 ft. Additionally some minor
inundations will be possible over the west coast of Florida as winds
will have a strong onshore component there. 


POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SURGE:
Little to no additional surge impacts expected.

    - Community officials are now assessing the extent of actual 
      surge impacts accordingly.
    - Emergency response teams are attending to casualty situations 
      as needed.
    - Emergency work crews are restoring essential community 
      infrastructure as necessary.
    - If you have an emergency dial 9 1 1.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* EVACUATIONS:
Do not enter evacuated areas until officials have given the all 
clear to return.

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside 
be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and 
flooded areas.
