Flagler County officials shortly after noon rescinded the evacuation order for the barrier island and started the process of closing the shelter at Rymfire Elementary School as the strongest effects of Hurricane Nicole have subsided.
“We nevertheless urge residents to use caution, particularly along the coastline, as the county recovers from the storm,” Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said. “There are some road closures on State Road A1A, as well as unsafe areas along our coastline, we urge everyone to remain off the barrier island.”
There are road closures in the following locations:
“Although we have seen the greatest impacts from Hurricane Nicole, we will still have damages from the next two high tides,” Lord said. “The next high tide is about 9 p.m. and then 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. Things should settle down after that.”
The shelter will be closed as quickly as is reasonably possible to ensure a safe transition for evacuees.
