Subtropical Storm Nicole is expected to make landfall on the east coast of Florida on Thursday as a Category 1 Hurricane. The current path of the storm has it striking the coast north of West Palm Beach in the early morning hours on Nov. 10.

“Nicole is a formidable storm that will have major impacts all along the southeastern U.S. coastline, not only near the center. Coastal flooding, large waves and rip currents will extend from the tip of FL to NC,” the National Weather Service said in a tweet.

Given the potential severity of the storm, it is important to be able to follow coverage even if you don’t have cable. Fortunately, there are live TV streaming services that offer free trials and free streaming options so that you can get the latest information available on Hurricane Nicole.

The good news is that all of these services work on your TV, as well as your phone. So, if you lose your internet connection, but still have cell service, you can follow the storm coverage on your mobile device.
