We have been through 3 hurricanes while living in Central Florida and The Villages is one of the safest places to live. That said, there could be some damage. Power failure, some roof shingles, tree damage, and flooding low areas such as tunnels etc. Hurricanes do sometimes spawn tornadoes and that could be more dangerous than the hurricane itself.
Bottom line, nobody knows for sure where this is going to make landfall---too early to know. By the end of this week, we will have a better idea about the path of Irma. |
Opening windows inside of a house is for
tornadoes, not hurricanes. An approaching tornado brings a low pressure which causes houses to explode outward from internal air pressure.
Simply have food and water, and be prepared to live without electricity for a few days.
