The Countdown: Tropical Storm Nicole wreaks havoc in Florida
In this edition of 'The Countdown,' we continue our coverage tracking Tropical Storm Nicole.
The storm made landfall in Florida Thursday morning and began making its way north after leaving communities under water.
We know at least two people died in this storm after they were electrocuted by a downed power line in Orange County.
Further north, in Volusia County, houses began collapsing into the ocean.
Eyewitness News reporter Josh Einiger reported live from Florida.
Here are the other headlines from Thursday's show:
