I don't think any of you should worry too much. But you can if you want to.
If you open the chart that I posted a few posts back and go to Sumter, Lake and Marion counties, you should feel some reassurance that we are relatively safe here from tornadoes.

My point is not to worry people but to have everyone make note of the safest location in ones house for the possibility of a tornado. As a pilot, I have observed that weather is extremely difficult to predict and thus I can’t say a tornado will or will not hit the Villages in the future. Let’s discover that safe location when the weather is nice rather than wait until the last moment before the storm.
