The deaths are the first confirmed as a result of Nicole, which has been downgraded to a tropical storm.

Despite the downgrading, the storm continues to make its way up the East Coast.

While in Volusia County, northeast of Orlando, manager George Reckentwald described the damage along the coastline as 'unprecedented.' 
No deaths have been reported in the county but nearly 20 hotels and more than 40 single-family homes have suffered significant storm damage, with some completely destroyed. 
The county's sheriff, Mike Chitwood, said in a social media post that multiple coastal homes in Wilbur-by-the-Sea had collapsed and that several other properties were at 'imminent risk.' 
He said most bridges to the beachside properties had been closed to all but essential personnel and a curfew was in effect. 
Krista Dowling Goodrich, who manages 130 rental homes in Wilbur-By-The-Sea and Daytona Beach Shores as director of sales and marketing at Salty Dog Vacations, witnessed backyards collapsing into the ocean just ahead of the storm.
In the aftermath, the backsides of about seven colorful houses along Highway A1A had disappeared.

One modern house was missing two bedrooms and much of its living room as water lapped below its foundations. On a partially collapsed wall, decorations spelled out 'Blessed' and 'Grateful.' Goodrich burst into tears when she saw it.
'Half of the house is gone, but we did manage to get out family photos yesterday,' Goodrich said.
'It is overwhelming when you see this. These are hard-working people who got to this point in their lives and now they lose it all.'
In Daytona Beach Shores, where beachfront bathrooms attached to the city's Beach Safety Ocean Rescue building collapsed, officials deemed several multistory buildings unsafe and went door-to-door telling people to grab their possessions and leave.
'These were the tall high-rises.

So the people who wouldn't leave, they were physically forcing them out because it's not safe,' Goodrich said.
