Evacuations have been ordered in some Florida counties ahead of the storm.
MIAMI — Tropical Storm Nicole forced people from their homes in the Bahamas and threatened to grow into a rare November hurricane in Florida on Wednesday, shutting down airports and Disney World as well as prompting evacuation orders that included former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
In the Bahamas, officials said that more than 520 people were in more than two dozen shelters. Flooding and power outages were reported in Abaco island. There is no penalty for ignoring an evacuation order, but rescue crews will not respond if it puts their members at risk. “It will affect huge parts of the state of Florida all day,” DeSantis said of the storm’s expected landing.
At 1 p.m., the storm was about 175 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida, and moving west at 12 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph .It could intensify into a rare November hurricane before hitting Florida, where only two have made landfall since recordkeeping began in 1853 — the 1935 Yankee Hurricane and Hurricane Kate in 1985.
