What worries me are the models showing it going right up the middle of the state.

Keeping any eye out and saying a prayer.
Don't panic! If Irma comes up through the center of Florida, it will be much weaker by the time it gets to The Villages. Start planning for a "hurricane party"! My friends just went shopping and no bottled water left. Some people panic yesterday and carried most of it out of the stores. Selfish and greed... No problem---just fill up containers with tap water. Cheaper and better for the environment anyway.
