Hurricane Nicole is approaching Florida's east coast and predicted to follow a path straight up the center of the state. We will likely be substantially impacted by heavy rains, possible flooding and high winds. Governor Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 34 counties in preparation for Tropical Storm Nicole:

Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Citrus, Clay, Collier, DeSoto, Duval, Flagler, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Nassau, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Polk, Putnam, Sarasota, Seminole, St. Johns, St. Lucie, Sumter, and Volusia
The Wilson Management Group office will be closed tomorrow, Thursday - Nov. 10, due to the storm. Our staff and property managers will be working remotely as internet access allows to continually monitor our phone and email systems. We are currently expecting to reopen the office on Friday - Nov. 11.
We have advised all residents to take reasonable precautions to protect the premises from storm damage, including, but not limited to bringing in any lawn furniture, outdoor decorations or ornaments, trashcans, hanging plants, and anything else that can be picked up by the wind.
We have further advised all residents that if the property they are leasing sustains damage during the storm, they should report it to their property manager immediately. We will be monitoring phones and checking emails regularly. Unless internet service is lost, all residents can send a message or work order to their property manager directly through their Tenant Portal in AppFolio or via their Portal App on their smart phone.
We will work diligently to address any storm caused damage once the storm has passed, and it is safe to resume normal activity.
We have provided the following information to our residents to assist in preparing for Ian:
