The big tornado in The Villages (Groundhog day 2007) most were sleeping in their bedroom as it hit about 3:00am. There were eight deaths in Lady Lake. Something like 1,000 homes were damaged in The Villages. No deaths in The Villages----46 to hospital.

The fact it was 3:00 am was a blessing. Apparently, asleep in your bed isnt a bad place to be. We were living in the Village of Caroline---two blocks away from our Villa, homes were completely destroyed.

Tornados of this type are very rare.
