Weather Watch: Post-Hurricane Isaias

October 10, 2026
October 10, 2026 [10:30 AM EST] Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin, Florida last night as a Category 2 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. Overnight, the storm weakened to a post-tropical cyclone as it moved through Alabama, and the immediate threat to our communities has passed. Heavy rain and gusty winds remain possible further inland through the weekend. We’re pleased to report that all of our communities along the storm’s path came through the night safely. Some properties experienced brief power outages, downed trees, and minor property impacts, and our teams are actively working through cleanup and repairs this morning. Everyone — residents and staff alike — is safe and accounted for. We want to recognize our on-site teams for their hard work and dedication throughout this storm. They prepared all week, stayed with our residents through the night, and have been responding quickly to whatever came up. Their commitment made a real difference. Thank you to our residents, families, and communities for your patience and support throughout this storm. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and share updates on our weather page ( srimgt.link/weather ) as they become available.

Weather Watch: Hurricane Isaias

October 9, 2026
October 8, 2026 [9:00 PM EST] As Hurricane Isaias moves toward the Gulf Coast, the safety and wellbeing of our residents, families, and staff remains our top priority. Several of our communities are located within the storm's path, and our teams have been preparing throughout the week in close coordination with local officials and emergency management. Each active weather community has evaluated its own circumstances — including the forecast, building conditions, and resident needs — to determine the safest course of action. We will continue to monitor Hurricane Isaias closely and update this page as conditions develop. As a precaution ahead of Hurricane Isaias, our corporate office will close at 12 PM on Friday, October 9. Since our team works primarily remote, this has no impact on day-to-day operations — we'll continue taking calls, responding to needs, and supporting our communities without interruption throughout the storm.
