UPDATES | Weather Event Idalia
During emergencies, quickly sharing accurate information is crucial. The Weather Event news section is one way to achieve this. This new section provides updates, and when faced with a major weather event, residents and families can have immediate access to the information that may affect them.
Updates found on this page are from community Executive Directors, corporate team members, the National Hurricane Center, local and state law enforcement.
August 31, 2023 | 9:15 AM EST As the storm passed yesterday, most of our senior living communities were unaffected, but our Atlantic Coast communities did have a few leaks, even though they never lost power last night. Our South Carolina coastal communities of Indigo Carolina Forest , Magnolia Bridge at Murrells Inlet , and New Haven at Little River are fully operational. No change in southern Georgia; The Canopy at Azalea Grove in Valdosta is still running on its natural gas-powered generator as the city tries to get the area back on the power grid. A majority of Valdosta is without power. Our Sunflower Springs at Homosassa community is awaiting the State of Florida's go-ahead to return to Homosassa. We have evacuees being hosted by The Canopy at Walden Woods and Village Veranda at Lady Lake.
August 30, 2023 | 5:18 PM EST The system has been downgraded; however, our communities along the Atlantic are still on high alert.
August 30, 2023 | 3:20 PM EST The outer rain bands still affect many of our Florida communities, but they have weathered the worst storm. Our Sunflower Springs at Homosassa community was evacuated ahead of Idalia; however, the building appears in good shape. No apartments were flooded, and the building never lost power. Although Hurricane Idalia has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm, our Georgia and South Carolina communities are still on high alert. Rain bands and high wind gusts are still probable as Idalia is forecast to make its way up across Georgia and the Atlantic coast.
