We lived on the beach for many years and went through 3 pretty serious Hurricanes. The Villages are so much better with the power buried under ground. BUT a major problem may be with all of the homeowners with pots of flowers outside, big umbrella's in stands outside.These can be real missles in big winds. We are making sure anything that can be a flying item is put in the garage or in the house. If you get flood water in the house "Serv-Pro" are good at handling that problem. Where we are I think flying objects are the most threat.
