After being through some serious hurricanes I don't think the villages is exposed to anything near the beaches or some places US1. The basics make sense, (e,g, some food, water, batteries,) but not necessary to panic. The main problem would be wind and therefore maybe some tree damage? It took us more than 2 years to recover from the hurricanes we had on the coast, wind blowing sand was a serious problem and wind on the upper floors. Completely blew away the club house, flooded the pool with sand, there were 2 9 story buildings and all first floors had sand to the ceiling. First floors had "flood insurance" while the 2nd to 9th floor had wind Ins and damages. I was President of the Condo Association and had the responsibility to see the damage repaired and to restore the Club House and parking lot and lights. Also replenish the sand that was lost on the beach. I don't see this damage in the Villages but could see some heavy wind damage if it comes too close. In the end it cost almost $3M to get all back to good condition. This hurricane looks like it could bring some serious damage to where we use to live and hopefully I am wrong.
