Time: November, 10th 2022, 11:50 PM
Above image is a Hurricane Nicole (Category 1 Hurricane ) actual North path by 1weather application radar as shown over Florida map.
Luckily Nicole has weakened to a tropical depression with maximum sustained winds now its speed is down to 35 miles per hour.
All tropical storm and storm surge warnings have been canceled.

FIGURE 2. The 1weather application luckily down scales Nicole Hurricane as almost disappearing tropical storm as Tropical Depression.

FIGURE 3a. Above image is a wind-speed map of Florida and its surrounding Oceans recorded on a rainy (while St. Augustine area had a heavy rain) but a normal day.
Compared to Hurricane-Nicole day, the speed of wind in the sky is very low (low speed areas are colored as grey, high speed wind areas are colored as pink on the map ).
FIGURE 3b. In the early morning reported Highest Power Wind Speed areas which were colored differently on the map of the North West and North East oceans of Florida luckily disappeared.
Date: November 10th, 2022. 07:00 PM
FIGURE 4. According to the 1whether application predictions, the Hurricane Nicole wind speed (even if above normal) will be luckily decreased very much around late hours, on November 10th, 2022.
However, atmospheric wheather information, storm or wind information migh differ from inland flood and coastal flood risks.
Flood risks always should be mind separately.
Since the Peace River, Punta Gorda, FL flooded with previous hurricane (ian) as a disaster a month ago, other river neighborhood lands (such as Loxahatchee River, St. John River, Withlacoochee River ) under the radar path caught via application in priority regarding Hurricane Nicole watch. (November 10th, 2022).
FIGURE 6. A very old flood risk map of Florida regardless of any specific Hurricane, created on the year of 2020 (Thanks to NYT for the map).
Above image is a flood risk area map of Florida created on the year of 2020, well before Hurricane-Ian path related flood occurred. Considering the fact that Hurricane Ian path had not been known in 2020, the risky areas were not bad predictions at all.
Interestingly, even in 2020, the Sanibel Island had been scaled as a high flood risky land.

Regarding the speedy hurricane effect on land water, on some occasions, the flood risky lands starts to flooding even before touchdown of hurricane (close to land but while still is over ocean ) to a land.
FIGURE 7b. Hurricane Ian flooded Sanibel Island (on the west of FL); Hurricane Nicole flooded St. Augustine Beach (on the east coast of Florida, a land that is close to Tolamoto River, Matansaz River ) are pink circled on the Geography of Florida map.
There was not direct relation between the land elevation of Florida and Hurricane Ian or Nicole.
However, the Hurricanes path rather interacted with the lake connected river areas, not with the river areas which connected to mountains. Though costal floods occurred more or less, flash floods, and inland floods were not significant at some sort mountainy elevated areas such as Tampa, FL.
Surface-temperature of a land under hurricane is also important. Cold, low-temperature areas somehow are less impacted from tropical storms associated tides.
It should be noted that, some mountainy areas might not prone to flooding, but might be prone to earthquake or landslides (there are some examples from other countries of the world that flooded areas were not the earthquake frequent lands. Though earthquakes or volcanic eruptions might trigger Tsunami floods). Florida and Nort Dakota are listed almost earthquake-risk-free lands.
Flooding is not only problem in disaster history, as a matter of fact flash-flooding is the worst. Flash floods appear, destroy, and disappear in hours.
Hurricane Ian, Hurricane Nicole associated floods are not Flash-floods luckily.
Interestingly, the very south of Florida, such as Miami is not rich in neither river, nor lakes compared to upper mountainy land.
In addition to the topography of a land, its overall mass land exposure to Sunlight might be a factor. I also look at how much solar energy the total land mass of Earth and total water mass of Earth and total gases of Earth get from sun during its rotational movement over different months as depicted here.
It would be a good idea to calculate statistics of the dates/months of Hurricane Associated Floods, Earthquakes (including very low seismic tremors above 3.5 ), Tornados versus amount of any Earth land solar energy exposure from sunlight for entire Earth or entire continent.
I also asked a question regarding Nicole-Hurricane:
"After moving towards North, close to VA skies,
Did the driving speed of moisture-heavy Hurricane-Nicole decreased too much, and dropped over somewhere on Virginia lands as a Tornado?
Answer is luckily no; there happened no tornado there. "
As of 12 November 2022, 07:00 PM, something resembling Tornado at McKenney VA skies was reported and appropriate sheltering managed timely. However, the atmosphere structure which was described as a Hurricane-Nicole transformed tornado never fallen at McKenney VA.
As a matter of fact there was a high Land Surface Temperatures values as reported on 1weatherapp (here) at the neighborhood area of the pre-tornado atmospheric structure coordinate. However, for some protective reasons it never transformed into an damaging tornado, and dissipated luckily on the same day(12/11/2022 ).
The fact that close to McKenney, VA, starts a Mountains Range could be a parameter.
In general, when i use 1weatherapp similar phone applications, i check all 7 continents of the Earth, and compare both wind-speed and Surface-temperature (application luckily reports such data from all continents of the Earth), based on such data, sometimes even predict that some lands will definitely not have Earthquakes, or Hurricanes.
Some surface temperature data from some continents, such as Australia or Antarctica should be evaluated versus previous years rather than versus other continent temperatures.
Note: Above radar images are obtained from android phone 1weather application.
