One year later you could hardly tell there had been a tornado in The Villages. We were here and saw the destruction and the work of The Developer. Just two blocks from our Villa, homes were completely destroyed. About 50 residents were injured but there were no fatalities here in TV. This says something's about the quality of our homes. Whatever Irma brings we will survive and rebuild. Hopefully, damage will be minimal.

This was before my time. But I have often heard about the Developer's generous and timely reaction in mitigating the damage.
