There was always a low probability of "great danger" to The Villages. However, the forecasted winds approaching 45 MPH would have been enough to call it a day as they would have probably struggled with staffing the restaurants only to have few customers show up. Asking employees to potentially go out into harm's way is just not done anymore. It sends a bad message to employees and customers alike.

It is not a big deal, I am grateful we are safe, I am just stating an opinion for conversations sake.

It is getting to be time to see how fast I can get my cart going with a good gust helping me...
