Folks pay attention to the experts. And by the way so far they have not said to evacuate our area. FYI I am not there. Left in May. But if I was there I would have left. Why would I want to put myself in harms way. Every time I do lately I get hurt. And if tornados is the concern (and I agree) not a single house in The Villages is safe. Not even those tin strips on the roof rafters can withstand that kind of force.


We agree. I'm not afraid of hurricanes but I do have a very healthy respect for them.
