Hurricane Nicole made landfall on the Atlantic coast of Florida on Thursday, becoming the first hurricane to hit the United States in November for 40 years - sparking mandatory evacuation orders.
But just an hour after Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane it was downgraded to a Tropical Storm, the US-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in a statement.
The NHC said Nicole was packing sustained maximum winds of up to 70 miles per hour and heading towards Georgia and South Carolina, which would also be affected.
Earlier, the speed had been reported as 75mph.
The storm could also possibly hit Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York later in the week, it said.
The hurricane, a rare occurrence this late in the year, comes just weeks after Florida was battered by the deadly Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States.
Before landfall, dramatic footage already showed waves crunching into piers across the eastern coast - sending wooden shards spiraling into the sea.
The storm had passed over the Bahamas on Wednesday, with the level of destruction not immediately clear.
A hurricane warning was in effect for Florida's eastern coast from the city of Boca Raton to the boundary between Flagler and Volusia counties, the NHC said.
Forty-five of the state's 67 counties were under a state of emergency, Governor Ron DeSantis said, while four counties were under mandatory evacuation orders, according to the state's Division of Emergency Management.
DeSantis said 16,000 people had been recruited to respond to power outages following the storm and 600 national guardsmen had been activated.
Nicole becomes the first hurricane to hit the US in November in nearly 40 years, and only the third in history to make landfall in Florida that month. The last storms to hit the panhandle at this time of the year were Hurricane Kate in 1985, and Hurricane Eloise in 1975.
Waters could surge up to four feet, with coastal towns at risk for wash-outs and severe flooding.
Up to six inches of rain are expected to fall as the storm moves across the state.
The devastating storm comes barely a month after Hurricane Ian ravaged Florida and left 130 people dead.
A wave smashes into a pier at Deerfield Beach in Florida on Wednesday night.
The surge is expected to reach up to four feet
