- Governor DeSantis has announced all portions of A1A which were damaged by the impact of Nicole have been reopened. Crews began restoration efforts on Thursday to repair damaged portions of the road washed out in localized flooding. The governor also announced all power loss due to Nicole was restored within two days statewide.
- According to initial estimates, Nicole produced less than $1 billion in damages in Florida, with insured losses of less than $750 million making it one of the least costly hurricanes to hit Florida. Insurance losses were being closely watched by insurers and state officials alike given the already distressed state of Florida’s property insurance market. The state is likely to soon hold a second special session to address the crisis.
