Hurricane Nicole Brings Wind, Rain & Surge
Published: November 10, 2022
Update – 12:01 AM EST
At the 10:00 PM EST update from the National Hurricane Center, Nicole has made its expected turn toward a west-northwestward heading. The system should turn toward the northwest and north during the next day or so while moving along the western side of a mid-level anticyclone, moving over the Florida peninsula and northern Florida.
In 36 to 48 hours, Nicole should accelerate north-northeastward. The official track forecast is about the same as the previous one and remains close to the multi-model consensus prediction.
The hurricane has little time to strengthen further before making landfall in Florida. Weakening will occur while Nicole moves over Florida, and even though the center may briefly emerge over the extreme northeastern Gulf of Mexico, this is not likely to result in any significant re-intensification.
The system should weaken to a depression and become a post-tropical cyclone over the southeastern United States. Nicole should merge with another extratropical low over the eastern United States after 48 hours.
Key Messages from the National Hurricane Center
- Hurricane conditions are expected across portions of the coast of southeast and east-central Florida tonight, where a Hurricane Warning is in effect. Tropical storm conditions will continue along the east coast of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina within the warning areas into Thursday. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin along the west coast of Florida tonight and Thursday.
- A dangerous storm surge is expected along much of the east coast of Florida, portions of coastal Georgia, and the Florida Big Bend along the Gulf coast. The storm surge will be accompanied by large and damaging waves along the Atlantic coast. Residents in the warning area should listen to advice given by local officials.
- Do not focus on the exact track of Nicole since it is a large storm with hazards extending well to the north of the center, outside of the forecast cone. These hazards will affect much of the Florida peninsula and portions of the southeast United States.
- Nicole will produce heavy rainfall tonight into Thursday across the Florida Peninsula. Flash and urban flooding will be possible across portions of the Florida Peninsula along with renewed river flooding on the St. Johns River. Isolated flash, urban, and small stream flooding will also be possible on Friday in the Southeast through the southern and central Appalachians, including the Blue Ridge Mountains, and extending northward through west-central Pennsylvania into western New York by Friday night into Saturday.

We’ve always focused on creating an environment where residents feel supported, engaged, and truly known. Now, we’re building on that commitment in a meaningful way. As of April 1, Harper's Station Gainesville has expanded its Memory Care offering by assuming management of the standalone Memory Care community located adjacent to Harper’s Station Gainesville. While this neighboring community has long been part of the Gainesville landscape, it will now operate under the same approach, standards, and philosophy that guide everything we do. This allows us to create a more consistent experience across both communities while expanding our ability to serve residents with specialized needs. For residents and families, this expansion means more access to dedicated Memory Care support, greater consistency in how care is delivered, and a stronger connection between services. It also allows us to enhance programming and provide an environment intentionally designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. “This is a natural extension of what we’re already doing at Harper’s Station,” said Taylor Bratkovich, Vice President of Operations for SRI Management . “By bringing this community under our management, we’re able to create greater consistency in care, strengthen team support, and enhance the overall resident experience. Families can expect the same thoughtful, personalized approach across both communities.” Memory Care is deeply personal, and we approach it with that understanding. Our teams are focused on meeting residents where they are, creating structure, familiarity, and meaningful moments throughout each day. At the same time, what matters most remains unchanged. “SRI Management has always focused on growing in ways that directly support residents and their families,” said Todd Filippone, President of SRI Management . “Expanding our Memory Care offering in Gainesville allows us to serve more individuals while delivering the same level of compassion, consistency, and quality that defines Harper’s Station.” This next step allows us to grow thoughtfully while staying grounded in what matters most, delivering a strong, consistent experience for every resident we serve.
Impact Senior Living an affiliated brand of SRI Management, has expanded its presence in Florida with the addition of three senior living communities: The Heron of Lake City , The Heron of Longwood , and The Heron of Palm Coast . Located across key Florida markets, the three communities offer a mix of Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care services, with a shared focus on personalized support, purposeful engagement, and creating environments where residents can maintain independence while receiving the care they need. The Heron of Lake City, located at 213 NW Gleason Drive in Lake City, provides a welcoming setting designed to support residents through every stage of aging. The Heron of Longwood, located at 342 South Wayman Street in Longwood, offers thoughtfully designed spaces and programs that foster connection and daily engagement. The Heron of Palm Coast, located at 3830 Old Kings Road in Palm Coast, delivers tailored care and a supportive environment centered on resident well-being. The addition of these communities represents a continued investment in Florida and reflects Impact Senior Living’s strategy of aligning with communities that prioritize strong operations, quality care, and long-term stability. “Florida remains one of the most important and dynamic markets in senior living, and we are excited to continue growing our presence with the addition of these three communities,” said Andrew Hendry, Vice President of Operations for Impact Senior Living . “Each location brings a dedicated team and a strong foundation, and our role is to support and elevate the experience for residents, families, and staff alike.” Impact Senior Living works in close partnership with SRI Management, which provides operational support, strategic direction, and the infrastructure needed to sustain consistent, high-quality performance across its communities. “Our focus is always on creating alignment between people, process, and performance,” said Todd Filippone, President of SRI Management . “These communities are well-positioned within their respective markets, and we look forward to working alongside the Impact team to build on that momentum and deliver a reliable, high-quality resident experience.” The expansion further strengthens Impact Senior Living’s growing portfolio and reinforces its commitment to delivering thoughtful, resident-centered care across Florida and beyond.
