Jacksonville, Fl — Nicole was the second latest hurricane to hit the continental United States. And it is the latest hurricane landfall ever on the east coast of Florida. 2022 is tied with 2001 for the most Atlantic hurricane formations in November.
The storm washed away homes, chewed up roads and just about everything else in its path. See photos of the damage from Northeast and Central Florida:
