Rain & Wind Hitting the Southeast

Published: November 10, 2022

Update – 4:15 PM EST


Our communities are reporting very little disruption:


  • The Canopy at Walden Woods lost power briefly and the backup generators worked as tested. Walden Woods has had their power restored.


  • Seagrass Village of Fleming Island had internet and phone service outages, but those services are coming back online sporadically.


Most communities in the storm’s path have been experiencing wind, some high gusts and rain. Communities affected are faring well, and those yet to experience Nicole are prepared for her arrival.


At the 4:00 PM EST update from the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Nicole is moving toward the northwest near 15 MPH, and this general motion should continue this evening, followed by a turn toward the north tonight. Nicole is expected to accelerate north northeastward on Friday.


On the forecast track, the center of Nicole will move along the coast of the Florida Big Bend region for the next several hours before moving across the eastern Florida Panhandle. After that, Nicole should move northward over Georgia later tonight, and then move through the southeastern United States on Friday.


Maximum sustained winds are near 45 MPH with higher gusts. These winds are mainly occurring over the Gulf of Mexico to the west of the center. Little change in strength is expected this evening while the center moves along the coast of the Florida Big Bend. Nicole is expected to weaken to a depression over Georgia tonight, and then it is expected to dissipate over the Mid-Atlantic United States by Friday night.


Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles from the center. A Weather STEM station on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville recently reported a wind gust of 54 MPH.

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.
