Storm surge was expected to raise water levels around 4 feet (1.2 metres) to 6 feet (1.8 metres) above normal tide, and large swells were forecasted to affect the northern Bahamas.
As of 10 November, coastal flooding from storm surge was reported in areas of Abaco Islands, in particular Green Turtle Cay and Marsh Harbour, and in Freeport and West End in Grand Bahama. Two roads were closed due to flooding in coastal areas near Nassau, New Providence.

🚨 Florida is bracing for #HurricaneNicole‘s landfall. This is a look at Hollywood Beach as the storm surge floods the boardwalk. This is a rare Nov. hurricane, the first since 1985. My heart goes out to those in FL bracing for this storm — just weeks after Ian. 💔
