Tropical Storm Nicole sent multiple homes toppling into the Atlantic Ocean this morning, threatening a row of high rise condominiums in places where Hurricane Ian washed away seawalls only weeks ago. Details
VERO BEACH, Fla. — Tropical Storm Nicole sent multiple homes toppling into the Atlantic Ocean Thursday and threatened a row of high rise condominiums in places where Hurricane Ian washed away seawalls and other remaining protections only weeks ago.
“We knew it wasn’t meant to stop a hurricane, it was only meant to stop the erosion,” Gellner said. But after Nicole, the building's pool deck “is basically in the ocean,” Gellner said. “The problem is that we have no more beach. So even if we wanted to rebuild, they’ll probably condemn the building because the water is just splashing up against the building."
Krista Dowling Goodrich, who manages 130 rental homes in Daytona Beach Shores as director of sales and marketing at Salty Dog Vacations, witnessed the beachfront disappear behind some of the properties as evacuations were under way just ahead of the storm. She was trying to reach the scene Thursday morning to see how they fared.
Authorities had warned that Nicole’s storm surge could further erode many beaches. The rare November hurricane prompted officials to shut down airports and theme parks and order evacuations.
