A portion of a pier in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea collapsed Thursday morning due to the impacts from Hurricane Nicole. The portion of Anglins Fishing Pier, located off Commercial Boulevard, collapsed as the storm made landfall just over 90 miles north in Hutchinson Island. No injuries were reported. The pier Is the longest in South Florida and opened in November 1963. It has suffered damage before from various storms, including substantial damage from Hurricane Wilma in 2005. Nicole — which made landfall on North Hutchinson Island south of Vero Beach — had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph before being downgraded to a tropical storm with winds of 70 mph.
